   24      c             tomatoes -- peel, core, chop
    2      c             white vinegar -- 5%
    2      c             jalapeno chiles -- chop with seeds

    2      small cans    tomato sauce

    1      tbsp          pickling salt -- do not use table
           bunch         cilantro -- chopp
 
 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
