Notes

Canned salsa has a shelf life of about a year. Make sure to label the salsa with a month and a year and store it in a cool dark place.
Try canning outside with a camp stove. It will eliminate all the additional heat and smell  from your home that canning can create.
To avoid mineral build up add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to your water bath.
