Cooked over direct heat on grill until some char forms, then stems removed from peppers and blended
For the pressure canning, I bought an All-American 15.5 Quart Pressure Canner. After a test run to make sure I could get it up to pressure, I canned 4 pints and kept the rest to compare to. The flavor is different between the fresh salsa and the canned, but it's not bad. The canned salsa is a little bit sweeter, but there's still plenty of heat and the smoke flavor is still there too.
If you want to can your own salsa, make sure you read up on it! Water bath canning may not be adequate for homemade recipes, since low acid content could introduce botulism to your salsa. Pressure canning is much safer, and while the flavor is different, it's still really good.
I'm definitely a bigger fan of fresh salsa, but for those times when vegetables are out of season or I want to give some salsa away, canning isn't a bad option.
$145 for the 15.5 quart one. Can do 7 quart jars at a time

Thank you so much! The link to the water bath canner is the one I was looking at :) (yay!!) then this is the pressure one I was looking at (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004S893/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) yes I would start small and work my way up. My husband and I have a rather large garden this year and we wont' be able to eat everything we grow so I wanted to get into canning to save the excess food instead of having it go to waste. I'm VERY interested in making spaghetti sauce. I'm also planning on getting the bell blue book too for true recipes.
I'd bet no. Lots of plastic and those soft touch bubble buttons are bound to fail one day.
Are you looking for a general purpose pressure cooker? That looks like it is intended as an indoor smoker rather than for general purpose pressure cooking.
For a BIFL general purpose pressure cooker, the fancy ones are metal on metal, like http://www.amazon.com/All-American-2-Quart-Pressure-Cooker-Canner/dp/B00004S893/ref=sr_1_19?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1395324152&sr=1-19
If that's not in your budget, normal ones like this http://www.amazon.com/Fagor-Splendid-6-Quart-Pressure-Cooker/dp/B0000717AU/ref=sr_1_12?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1395324374&sr=1-12&keywords=pressure+cooker
have a rubber gasket that is bound to fail one day, so pick a mainstream brand that has a good record of selling spare parts. That way when you need a gasket in 10+ years you'll be able to find one.
If you are looking for a smoker, ignore me. I know nothing about them and don't imagine I'd wear one out.
