Ingredients:

  • 7 cups (1.2 kg) cherry tomatoes, whole
  • 1 cup (150g) white onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves (20g) garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil

  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp (6g) sugar
  • 1 tbsp (18g) canning salt
  • 1/2 cup (20g) fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Toss cherry tomatoes, diced onion, and garlic in olive oil on a sheet pan. Broil on high for 7 minutes until the skins blister and turn mahogany-colored.
  2. Transfer the roasted vegetables into a stainless steel pot.
  3. Stir in the minced jalapeños, apple cider vinegar, lime juice, sugar, and canning salt.
  4. Simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes until the mixture reaches a chunky, cohesive consistency.
  5. Fold in the fresh cilantro during the final 60 seconds of simmering.
  6. Pack the hot salsa into sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace.
  7. Wipe rims clean and apply new lids and bands.
  8. Lower jars into a water bath canner and process for 15 minutes, ensuring they are covered by at least 1 inch of water.
  9. Remove jars and let them sit undisturbed for 24 hours to ensure a proper seal.
