uncovered for 15 minutes. 
Stir often. 
Meanwhile, mix up tomato sauce, 
cumin, paprika, 
vinegar, salt and cayenne. 
Add to the simmering tomato mixture.

for another 10 minutes. 

Now, start boiling a large pot 
of water on the stove. 
When boiling, add lids and jars.

cilantro and lime juice. 
      
Pull out the jars 
and fill with hot salsa. 
Top with boiled, hot lid. 
Tighten and set aside.
