How To Make & Can Banana Pepper Salsa | Step By Step Instructions | Canning For Beginners

Chop up banana peppers and tomatoes using a knife or food processor.

Blend the chopped ingredients in the food processor until desired consistency is achieved.

Add salt and lime juice to the blended mixture and blend again.

Taste test the salsa; if you want fresh salsa, it's ready to eat after blending.

Sterilize jars by baking them at 250°F for 10 minutes.

Bring the salsa mixture to a boil and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes.

Prepare a large stock pot of water to boil for water bath canning.

Wipe the rims of the sterilized jars with a vinegar-dipped rag to ensure a clean seal.

Dip jar lids into boiling water for 3 seconds to sterilize them.

Attach the sterilized lids and bands to the jars.

Place the jars in the boiling water and water bath can for 40 minutes.

If necessary, switch to a larger stock pot to fit all jars and bring back to a boil before starting the 40-minute timer.
