Tomatillo Salsa

6 cups tomatillos, chopped
3 cups onions, chopped
3 jalapeno peppers, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons cumin
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
------------------------------------------

Combine all ingredients in a large pot & stir frequently over high heat untill mixture boils.
Reduce heat.
Simmer 20 minutes.
Ladle into pint jars.
Leave 1/2 inch headspace.
Adjust lids,process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.
Be sure to wear gloves when chopping Peppers as they will burn fingers.
Also, have good ventilation when cooking, I have found this to be true when cooking ALL Salsa.
I use a food processor for chopping.
If you want it hotter use more Jalapeno's & you can use more or less Cumin, as Cumin makes it hot, BUT, gives a good flavor.
