Directions

Red peppers make a prettier sauce, but green is ok. I like the flavor of the red ones. Get sweet onions like Vidalia or Texas 1020 if you can.

Cook tomatoes and vinegarfor an hour in a large[!] pot. Add remaining ingredients except cilantro and cook another a to 2 hours 'til a consistency you like. Add cilantro. Put in hot pint jars and process in water bath 15 minutes.

Makes about 10 pints
