Garden Fresh Salsa with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Peppers

This is another recipe from Mom. She made it last weekend for a Sunday night birthday party for Pierce. She gave us leftovers and I ate salsa for dinner last night. I had to take a picture because I know I wanted to post the recipe. Ryan shares my Google photo drive.  A few minutes after I took the picture he texted me from a stake presidency meeting saying, "don't eat all the salsa! I'm starving!" It's a great fresh salsa and it's a good way to use the extra zucchini. It makes a HUGE recipe! Mom says to cut it in fourths or plan on having lots of extras to share!

10 cups fresh tomatoes (after processing) any variety works!
7 cups fresh zucchini (after processing)
3 green peppers
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 orange pepper
1 large hot pepper
1 jalapeno
4 cloves of garlic
1 onion
1 bunch of cilantro
¾ cup vinegar
⅓ cup sugar
2 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp pepper

Do not peel any of the veggies. You need to use a very large bowl. A food processor is a must for this recipe (a blender would be okay). Put tomatoes into food processor and blend to desired consistency.
Put zucchini in food processor.  DO NOT liquify the zucchini. It should be chucky or grated.  I think Mom always grates hers.
Process the peppers and chop. They can be left a little chucky.  Put the hot pepper, jalapeno and onion in the food processor.  Chop those finely so no one gets a hot chunk.  Chop the cilantro in the food processor. Put everything in a large bowl and stir together. Add the sugar vinegar salt and pepper and mix well. Add extra salt or pepper if needed.
