- You will need to prep the tomatillo by taking off the husk and then washing. Don’t worry about peeling or seeding them.
- Prep the peppers. At this point, make sure you are wearing hand protection. Chop the chilies finely. If you are noticing that the skin of the chilies are tough you can heat them up in the oven until the skin starts to blister- usually about 6 minutes at 400 degrees. To make peeling the skin easier, place the chilies in a pot and cover with a damp cloth. Let them cool and the skins should slide right off.
- There is no need to peel the jalapeño peppers. If you are looking to decrease the spiciness you can remove the seeds.
- You can finely chop all of your ingredients or you can process them in a food processor.
- In a large stock pot add the chopped tomatillos, chopped chilies, chopped jalapenos, chopped onions, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Keep stirring periodically.
- Now you are ready to put the salsa in the pint jars.
- Ladle the hot salsa mixture into clean and sanitized pint mason jars.
- Make sure to leave about 1/2 inch space at the top of the jar. Remove all of the air bubbles (gently tap the jars on a thick towel set on your counter to help them come to the surface) and wipe the mouths of the jars with a clean, damp cloth.
- Apply the two part lid and screw the ring or band on.
- Place the jars in a water bath canner filled half way with hot tap water. Once all of the jars are in the canner, fill the canner up with more hot water until the water is 1 to 2 inches over the top of the jars.
- Bring the canner to a boil. Once the water is fully boiling, boil for 15 minutes (see notes on altitude adjustments).
- Once the 15 minutes has passed, turn the heat off your canner. When the water stops boiling, remove the hot jars from the water and place them on a cutting board or on a thick towel (taking care not to bump them together when setting them down) to cool.
- Once cooled, remove the rings for storage, write what's in the jar and the date on the top of the lid, and store for up to a year on the shelf (they'll last longer than that but a year is ideal).

- Simmer 20 minutes.
- Ladle into pint jars.
- Leave 1/2 inch head space.
- Adjust lids, process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.
- Be sure to wear gloves when chopping peppers as they will burn fingers.
- Also, have good ventilation when cooking--I have found this to be true when cooking ALL salsa.
- I use a food processor for chopping.
- If you want it hotter use more jalapeños & you can use more or less cumin, as cumin makes it hot, BUT gives a good flavor.
