Followed Craigers general directions on this classic thread (1/2 scale) & stayed pretty true to what he describes here as best I could.

.... Added a bit more Lime juice & added the Cilantro after cooking all the other stuff.... Tasted great
.... Process 30 minutes..... This is the first time for me processing tomatoes.... I did see somewhere to cut a -V- in the bottom of the tomatoe & put in boiling water for 30-55 seconds, remove & place in ice water & the skins will come off pretty easy.... That worked really well & prolly saved me some time.... I'm new to the canning & processing tomatoe area, so this prolly saved me some time.... I got 4 full pints & a single 1/2 pint from more or less halving Craigs recipe.
I did buy this stuff from the store
..... BUT, have probably about 15-20 lbs of Romas from me own garden that are inside in paper bags to ripen (hopefully & thanks ALX) for some ALX ketchup & some spaghetti sauce,
maybe Squirels?

Looks like some top notch salsa!! 
..... I got about 15-20 pounds of Romas picked that are just starting to turn Red... I'm gonna open that little 1/2 pint jar later tonight & try the salsa out....
