Green Tomato Salsa Verde
Make a refreshing salsa with fresh green tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, and jalapeños. Unlike a traditional salsa verde with tomatillos, Ball® Green Tomato Salsa Verde uses green tomatoes which are usually easier to find! This salsa recipe is perfect with tortilla chips or with some grilled fish tacos!

To guarantee the most delicious preserved foods, always begin with the best-quality produce at its peak of ripeness.
NEXT, LET'S CAN IT!
Ladle hot salsa into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe rim. Center hot lid on jar. Apply band and adjust until fit is fingertip tight.
Process filled jars in a boiling water canner for 20 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down when center is pressed.
