Ingredients

  • 24 pounds tomatoes

  • 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste

  • ½ bunch cilantro

  • 16 jalapeno chile peppers

  • 2 medium heads garlic

  • 6 large green bell peppers, chopped

  • 6 large onions, chopped

  • 9 tablespoons salt

  • 1 cup distilled white vinegar

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ¾ cup cornstarch

  • ½ cup water

Directions

  1. Core and peel the tomatoes. Remove the tomato seeds and pulp. Put seeds and pulp through a food mill. Chop the outsides of the tomatoes

  2. In a large pot over low heat, boil the milled liquid and tomato paste for 1 hour, or until the liquid is reduced by 1/3.

  3. In a blender or food processor, puree cilantro, jalapeno, garlic and 1/2 cup of the tomato liquid from the large pot. Slowly stir this mixture into the pot.

  4. Bring the contents of the pot to a boil while mixing in the green peppers, onions, chopped tomatoes, salt, vinegar and brown sugar. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pot. Stirring continually, boil the mixture until all the vegetable are soft -- about 30 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool, and place it in sterile containers.
