Took =Mark's advice and gave it a 14" haircut:

Now to learn how to use it.  I remember someone telling me that the flavor 
gradually fades if canned.  Another thing I am not good at is using new and 
different spices.  I'm basically a sweet/sour/hot/salt/pepper guy.  I've 
3/8" diced 7 lbs (net) fresh rhubarb from my visit last week to 
Minne-so-tah, 1 lb 6 oz green bells, 1 lb 10 oz sweet Vidalia onions, 7 oz 
orange manzanos from Beth in TX and pureed 2 lbs strawberries. Still to do 
is celery.  Expect will take aprox 2 cups cider vinegar for proper acidity 
ratio so can water bath can. Going to need some sugar and salt and?  Always 
open to suggestions from you foodies on what to put in my salsas.
