I would like to can some salsa (I find my own is the best anyway ) But I have NO idea on how to can anything. I read up on how to can jelly, jam, speg. sauce and the such. But was wondering if I am supossed to cook my salsa? Do the whole bring to boil and such. I kinda like chunky, crisp salsa. Any experts out there that can give me some advice?

OH thank you!!!! I don't know exactly why I didn't think about using google for this. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to do this! Especially when I should have done it myself!

Hi, I do alot of canning, I use the "Ball blue book" for processing times and recipes, I usually end up modifying them, the recepies that is. but all the directions are in there. As for salsa this year I cooked mine down cause it was too runny, then canned it up. If you like your salsa crispy , however I'm sorry to say it's not gonna happen if you can it , processing makes it soft. Also make sure you follow the directions closely as if you underprocess things you can get food poisening.
Maybe the Ball corperation has a website, all I see on the book is
ball corperation
consumer products division
345 South High st
Muncie Indiana 47305-2326
Anyway Have fun and good luck!!!

Jackie
