A friend of mine was nice enough to share this awesome recipe with me. It is a great way to use up the plentiful zucchini that you may have growing in your garden. The salsa has a nice balance of sweetness and heat to it. I have made 4 batches of it alone this summer and everyone I share it with loves it and wants the recipe. Following the recipe the way it is should result in a medium heat salsa. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
10 cups tomatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped (i use a combination of beefsteak, roma, and yellow tomatoes)
8 cups grated zucchini (with skin on)

1 1/2 cups vinegar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
