Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
Step 2
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 25 minutes.
Step 3
Combine tomatillos, poblanos, onion, chicken broth, jalapeños, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor or electric blender, in batches; pulse until blended. Transfer to a large stockpot.
Step 4
Add cilantro, lime juice, oregano, and seasoned salt to pot. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, inspect 10 to 12 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until tomatillo sauce is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
Step 6
Pack tomatillo sauce into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
