CAYENNE PEPPER SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Puree ingredients in a blender (it will probably take several sessions, as the volume of ingredients is more than most blenders will hold). Put ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 45 to 60 minutes to reduce salsa to a thick ketchup-like consistency. Divide salsa into clean mason jars, but leave about 1/2-inch between top of salsa and top of jar. Put on new lids and tighten the bands, but leave them slightly loose. Set jars in a large pot of boiling water (water should be close to top of salsa). Boil for 15 to 20 minutes, remove jars, tighten bands completely and allow to cool. This is a moderately hot recipe. You can add more peppers to make it hotter.
