Hi Lori,
Yes, remove the seeds, and for one recipe, I use 3 med-large onions, so whatever the equivalent in cups that would be? I sometimes put in more, this recipe is really forgiving, so if your family preference is more or less onion, you can play around with amounts!

Hope this helps!
Mary

You could always trie powdered tomato’s vs paste… will help thicken it right up..I’ve tried vingar recipts lemon juice recipts and citric acid recipts husband hates them all… so am going to try this one.. from Nevada ourselfs so we are very very very picking about our salsa.s.

Debbie and Mandy, I’m SO glad you guys love the salsa! Thanks bunches for letting me know!

Julie, I’ve always wanted to try the lime juice switch in this, but haven’t got any idea if it would can safely? Wish I was more help…and yes…it is thin unless you use paste tomatoes…otherwise, you have to add the tomato paste. This year I had no access to paste tomatoes (I’m going to plant some in next year’s garden!!) so I added the tomato paste, and the salsa was the perfect thickness. Not your fault at all! If it makes you feel better…when I realized my salsa wasn’t thickening up in cooking, I left it on the stove with my daughter watching, and drove the 6 miles to town for tomato paste, lol! It was worth it! Hey, if you find out the answer to the lime juice Q, could you come back here and let me know? Thanks!! I’m super careful when it comes to canning…a friend of mine is going to have to boil ALL her canned tomato products 15 minutes before using them because she didn’t water-bathe them long enough in her canner. Can you imagine? All that work…

Happy Canning, everyone!

Mary, can I substitute lime juice, same amt., instead of vinegar? Also, my sauce is so thin — delicious(!) but thin — is that why people use tom. sauce? Or am I doing something wrong in processing?Thanks!!

Mary, I made this recipe first time this year — loved it and have shared much. I did use lime juice in place of vinegar — it tasted great, but used less salt – hope it’s safe? Q – can I pack vegies raw and then process? I am thinking there would be more of a ‘fresh’ taste? Fresh basil is also good addition. Thanks!

This turned out really well for me! I did add a tsp of cumin to my halved recipe. Took this to our Bible Study and it was a hit with my friends. Going to can another big batch today to save for gifts for Christmas.
