A Labor Of Love!!

I recently was picked to host a Discover You CAN House Party.  It was so much fun!  We didn't have a lot of people, but we did make some yummy strawberry jam!!
I've been excited about this "Labor of Love" for a while.  We have been doing Bountiful Baskets for several weeks now, and recently there have been a lot of peppers, onions etc.  And I'm insanely allergic to all peppers and onions.  Just touching peppers gives me a migraine.  So, I purchased the "Mexican" pack with this past week's Bountiful Basket to make a yummy treat for my Non Allergic husband :)
  It contained all kinds of stuff I had never seen, so after identifying it all, I got started.
 7 cups Tomatoes
3 cloves Garlic
1/4 cup Cilantro
1 cup Green Onions
2 Cups cucumbers

 1 Tbsp Marjoram
1/2 Cup Vinegar

1/2 Cup Jalapeno Peppers
1/2 Cup Anaheim Peppers

 2 cups Banana Peppers
 A Few Sweet Baby Bell Peppers for color

  Stir it all up

 Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes
 Fill jars, leaving 1/2 in at top, cover with lid and band, and tighten. 
Place in water bath for 20 minutes (water bath=boiling water, at least 1" above rim of jars)
 First three jars, done and cooling
They have to sit for 12 hours! :(  
My poor hubby!
 All 5 jars of salsa!!  Woo hoo!
