Mine is jam, but you could do either. I did jam and just heat it up for about 10 seconds in the microwave and it's the right consistency over meat.

Well, I used the Mrs Wages salsa seasoning last night, used the 6 lbs of tomatoes like it said, but added 34 jalapenos, 4 Serrano's, 1 large onion, cilantro, and 4 cloves of garlic, and it did turn out yummy. The total batch ended up making 6 quarts.

Water is on to boil now to peel tomatoes, Still need to do the salsa tonight. Just finished 7 pints of pickled green beans. I don't know how to say no when my sweet neighbor asked me if I could use some excess tomatoes and green beans that she had. The green beans take forever to stem and sort, but they are worth it. We use them in place of olives in a martini. Looks cool and tastes great. A few drops of the pickling juice makes a "dirty martini with a kick. I put 2 sprigs of fresh dill, a large clove of garlic, and a dried red pepper in each jar. Too bad it takes 4 weeks before they are ready for eating!!!!
