This is a "medium, chunky salsa". If you want a smoother, more liquid salsa, use a food processor on your veggies...

Over the years, I have tried over 15, bottled salsa recipes and this one is a keeper. I have been doing my salsa this way for the last 3 years. It's time consuming preparing the veggies, not even going to lie. But, it's so, so... WORTH IT~!

If you've been looking for a great recipe for tasty, bottled, salsa... Give this one a try... 

You won't be disappointed~!
