Tomato Pepper Salsa

8 c chopped tomatoes
4 c green and yellow peppers (green alone is fine too)
1 c red peppers
2 c onions
1 c jalapeno peppers (about five peppers)
4 cloves garlic, chopped fine
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp paprika
1 – 5½oz can tomato paste
1 tb salt
1 c apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp sugar

Chop veggies, throw everything in a large pot, simmer uncovered about two hours, stirring often, until desired thickness. 
Cool. 
Makes plenty and freezes well.
Leave jalapeno seeds in for hotter salsa. 

Jalapeno pepper juice will burn your skin and  eyes. 
Be careful! If you get it on your skin, soak in milk.
