Yes I water bath them for 40 minutes to make them shelf stable...
Also the lime juice brings the pH down as well as vinegar making it possible to water bath something so full of peppers and onions...
ever use citric acid? i don't care for vinegar in my salsa.......i have used lemon juice to help...........last batch i did i just pressure canned..................

I should edit that Rob...It reads as if I use citrus AND vinegar... I never use vinegar in my salsa...
The lime juice is very good at lowering pH and goes well with the other salsa flavors...
I have never pressure canned salsa...Water bath with an acidic mix is good enough...
I have been doing this for almost three decades
Recipe has changed through the years...
But the process is the same...
Keep it clean...Manage the pH...Lots of heat to finish it off...
This stuff is VERY good! Maybe a bit “sparky” for the tenderfeet, but I like the heat..and the flavor’s nice too. Perhaps a touch much salt...it’s very close. I’d suggest unsalted chips, but that’s just my opinion

Good work sir!
The thing is that I almost never use the stuff for dipping chips...When put on a taco or burrito or something like that the salt is just about right...
Glad ya enjoyed it Rich...I can't believe what it costs to ship a box that small
