Step 1
Start by combining the onion, tomatoes, green and red bell peppers, Anaheim chiles, banana peppers, and jalapenos in a large pot. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, vinegar, diced tomatoes, and brown sugar, then sprinkle in the chili powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Give everything a good stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about an hour.

Step 2
After it’s had time to cook down and the flavors have melded, mix the cornstarch with a little water until smooth, then stir it into the salsa to help thicken it up. When the salsa has thickened to your liking, carefully ladle it into sterilized jars, leaving about half an inch of space at the top. Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes to preserve.

Step 3
If you decide not to seal the jars, just keep them in the fridge and enjoy within a reasonable time. This salsa is great on just about anything!
