Tomatillo Sauce
- 2 12 lbs tomatillos, washed and husked
- 2 medium poblano peppers
- 1 small jalapeno pepper

- 3 teaspoons garlic cloves, chopped (about 3 cloves)
- 12 cup bottled lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Place top oven rack 6 inches from broiler and preheat.

- In a medium saucepan, bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat; blanch tomatillos 1 or 2 minutes, then remove to ice water bath.
- Once tomatillos cool, coarsely chop in a food processor.
- Meanwhile, broil poblano and jalapeno peppers on a baking sheet until they blister, then turn, about 5 minutes in total.
- Once cool enough to handle, discard skins, seeds, and membranes; coarse chop (you should have about 1/2 to 3/4 cup).

- Place jars on a rack in a pot tall enough to allow the jars to be covered by 3 inches of water.
- Bring water to boil over high heat and preocess 15 minutes; turn off heat and allow jars to rest a few minutes before transferring to countertop to cool.
- Test seal by pressing the center of the lid, it should not pop back up.
- Let cool 6 to 8 hours undisturbed, then store in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
