Mixin It Up

Core and peel all tomatoes and separate the seeds and pulp from the outsides. Put the seeds and pulp through a food processor. Chop the outsides of the tomatoes.
In a large pot over a low heat boil the tomato paste and the mixture from the food processor for about an hour, liquid should be reduced by about 1/3.

In a food processor (or blender) puree the cilantro, jalapeno, garlic and ½ cup of the mixture from the large pot. Slowly stir this mixture into the pot.
Bring the contents of the pot to a rolling boil while mixing in the green peppers, onions, chopped tomato outsides, salt, vinegar and brown sugar. In a small bowl, dissolve the corn starch in the water, after dissolved, add to the pot, stirring continually. Boil until all of the vegetables are soft (about thirty minutes). Allow the mixture to cool, then place in covered containers.
