Home Canned Copycat “Rotel" ~ Canning Tomatoes and Chilies

#HomeCanning #Rotel #CanningTomatoes

Here's my copycat version of Rotel using safe canning guidelines.

3 lbs. plum tomatoes, cored
3/4 lb. jalapeno peppers or other chilies
4 cloves garlic
2 t. salt
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 t. citric acid
1/4 t. each smoked paprika, coriander, cumin
1/2 t. Mexican oregano

Ladle hot tomato mixture into a hot pint or half pint jar leaving 1/2” headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim. Center lid and apply band to fingertip tight.

Process for 20 minutes in boiling water or steam canner, adjusting for altitude as follows:
1,001-3,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 20 minutes

Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Remove bands, check seals, wash and label jars. Store in a cool dark dry place.

This tutorial is for informational purposes only. It is your responsibility to follow all instructions for your canner and water bath/steam canning. Always adhere to safe canning guidelines.
