I made a half batch and didn’t have green pepper double the jalapeños it was not too spicy and did not use proper canning techniques. it was delicious.

Very tasty! I used pretty much all the Roma tomatoes from my one plant, which was enough for 2 cups of drained tomatoes. I accidentally did 2x the amount of all the other ingredients but liked it a lot (2/5ths of the recipe instead of 1/5th). It made about 2.5 pints.
