Salsa Verde (canning Recipe)

I took all of the salsas to a family gathering over the 4th of July and this was the one everyone seemed to like the most.  It does have great flavor!!

You will need:
2 lbs tomatillos, peel off outer covering, roast, and then food process
1 onion, chopped finely or put in food processor
3 jalapenos peppers, remove seeds and roast
1/2 bunch cilantro, I put cilantro and peppers into the food processor together
5 garlic cloves, roasted
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup lime juice
Directions:
1. Remove husks from tomatillos, in a fry pan roast the whole tomatillos, peppers, and garlic cloves.  Allow them to get a little char on them. 
2.  Add each solid ingredient one at a time into a food processor then add to a large pot.  If you do not have a food processor you want to give everything a fine chop.
3.  Once all ingredients are add to the large pot bring it to a boil. Stir frequently and once boiling lower the temp. to a simmer.  Simmer for 20 mins.
4.  Carefully fill sterilized jars and close them up.  Add them to the hot water bath for 20 minutes.

This salsa is great on b-fast burritos, steak, eggs, chips, and much much more.
