Mom's salsa

10 cups chopped skinned tomatoes
4 cups chopped onions
4 cups chopped peppers
5-8 hot peppers
19 whole garlic cloves, pierced
3 tsp pickling salt
1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 can tomato paste

Combine. Cook gently about 15-20 minutes or until desired consistency. Remove garlic before putting in hot jars to seal. (nb probably should give it a water bath for extra safety....)
