You can use this recipe and eliminate the hot peppers...the tomatoes provide adequate acidity. In fact, I've done similar tweaks to the recipe when I wanted more of a "stewed tomato" result. Good luck! Mary Hi Brenda! You can use this recipe and eliminate the hot peppers…the tomatoes provide adequate acidity.

I know your not suppose to change recipes when your canning. Is it ok to leave the peppers out or do you need them for the acid. Thanks Do you have a recipe for salsa that doesn’t use hot peppers, I’m looking for something that is a little more mild. I know your not suppose to change recipes when your canning.

It's so rewarding, and good for you for taking the plunge! I've never had a jar not seal, so I did some internet sleuthing to find the answer to your question. Everywhere I checked said it was fine if your lids didn't seal, to remove them, put a fresh lid on and do the water bath procedure over again. OR, if it's just one jar, you could stick it in your refrigerator and use it up soon. One reason lids don't seal is if you haven't wiped the jar rim down with a clean wet washcloth prior to putting the flat lid on top. This needs to be done AFTER filling the jar with your salsa. Another reason could be if you are using recycled jars, and the rims are chipped...they need to be smooth and like new. And don't forget to stick a plastic knife or something non-metal down in the jar to release the air bubbles after you've filled your jars! Wikipedia has a good article, you might want to read it. http://www.wikihow.com/Can-Food Happy Canning, and feel free to ask away if you have any more Q's! I probably won't be on again today until tonight though... Mary Welcome to canning, first timer! It’s so rewarding, and good for you for taking the plunge!

May sound like a stupid question but this is my first time to try canning. If the jars don’t seal in a water bath, can you do it a second time?

I have never had a jar that did not seal and it is sooo much easier than the old way.
