This recipe is for canning salsa. It allows you to make a bunch at one time and it keeps without refrigeration.
If you're just going to make a jar or two, there isn't any need to preserve it. Just keep it in the refrigerator.
The lemon and lime juice, plus the vinegar, raise the acidity of the salsa to keep bacteria from growing. I mix the three acids, so that you don't get overwhelmed by any one of them.
I use lots of ripe tomatoes. It takes about 15 pounds to make 12 pints of salsa.

To make 12 pints, It takes about 15 pounds of tomatoes. I grow San Marzano, but Roma work as well. I start out with fewer peppers than I think I need. As the salsa is cooking, I taste rest to determine how many more peppers I need to add. I grow a variety of heat levels, from jalapeños to Carolina Reapers. I just keep adding peppers until I get the heat level that I want.
