Three Sisters Salsa
by Carolyn, Evelyn, & Barb

Peel & Chop:
6 pounds tomatoes
8 large onions
3 small jalapeno peppers
2 banana peppers
2 small red chili peppers
4 large green peppers
2 bulbs garlic
1 Cup fresh parsley 

Combine with:
1 Tbsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. basil, rubbed
1 tsp. Thyme, rubbed
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
3 six-ounce cans of tomato paste 

Blend all ingredients together; simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Then add:
½ - ¾ Cup sugar (depending on sweetness desired)
½ - ¾ Cup vinegar

Simmer for 1 hour.

Put salsa into pint jars.  Process in pressure cooker up to 10 lbs. or place in hot water bath, 20-25 minutes. 

Note:  We often simmer the salsa for 2 hours after adding the sugar and vinegar, depending on how thick it is.  If your tomatoes are very juicy, or you added the greater amount of vinegar, you may want to cook a little longer.
