Luann's Salsa (adapted to freezer)

23 to 25 med. tomatoes
3 lg onions
2 lg green pepper
2 lg red peppers
1 jalapeno pepper
1 c. white vinegar
4 t. black pepper
4 t. garlic salt
4 t. salt
3 T. corn starch
1 12 oz. can tomato paste

1.  Blanch and peel tomatoes
2.  Cut and squeeze most of the juice out as this will make it thicker
3.  Chop onions, peppers
4.  Chop jalapeno and remove seeds so it's not so hot
5.  Add other stuff
6.  Cook in 8 qt pot stirring often so it doesn't burn.  Vegetables need to be soft--abt 20 min or more.  I cook longer and then freeze.
7.  Blend in a blender to get things really chopped up
8.  Luann bottles and water baths boiling 20
9.  I let cool and put in bags and freeze.   Yummy
