Wanda's Fabulous Hot & Sweet Salsa

This is the recipe for the best salsa you will ever taste.  It is hot, sweet, and out of this world.  Everybody who tries it loves it!  We call it Wanda's Salsa but it is actually a hand-me-down recipe that came from others.  Wanda just made it famous with her charming personality and her special touch.  Even Robert Redford loves this stuff.  It is very easy to make and will make you a movie star like Redford.  Here is the Robert Redford story:

Several folks have requested that I tell the story of how Robert Redford came to taste some of Wanda's salsa, so here goes.
Sue, one of Wanda's sisters, lives in Fostoria, Ohio and for a long time she was the Commander of the American Legion there.  Sue had been in the army and was stationed in Germany for a time.  It seems that Wanda had left several jars of her salsa with Sue and it turns out that Robert Redford's bus driver is from Ohio and comes back to visit from time to time. When he is in town he often stops in for a beer at the American Legion.  On one of his visits he and Sue got to talking about the salsa and Sue ended up giving him a jar of it.  As the story goes he took the jar of salsa back to California and shared it with Redford and apparently he loved it and wanted some more.  The next time the bus driver was back in Ohio he dropped by the American Legion and told Sue how much Robert Redford liked the salsa and he wanted the driver to pick up some more of it.  Wanda's memory isn't real clear on this part of the story but she thinks that Sue gave him one more jar of the salsa and after that Sue started making the salsa herself.  Wanda isn't sure if Sue gave the driver any more salsa after that and she keeps forgetting to ask sister about it.  That's the plain and simple story about how Robert Redford came to try and enjoy some of Wanda's wonderful salsa.

Before I give you the recipe I want to tell you that Wanda does not grind this salsa up into a paste.  She slices the banana peppers into rings and uses them just like that.  You can cut them up a little more but I'm not sure how this would work if put into a food processor.  It would probably still taste great.  If you do this let us know how it turns out.  This recipe is easy, easy, easy.  Give it a try.

WANDA'S ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC HOT & SWEET SALSA
Ingredients:
~60 Large Banana Peppers
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Cup Vinegar
32 Ounces Ketchup
2 Cups Sugar or Splenda (or 1 cup of each)

Chop Banana Peppers (or use Food Processor) and mix with all of the Ingredients listed above.
Bring the mixture to a near boil and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Place hot salsa in canning jars and seal.
That's it... times and amounts may vary according to pepper sizes and taste.  Note: Wanda uses Splenda which measures just like sugar.  Spicy characteristics will vary according to the peppers used (of course).  Also, you can boil the above mixture on a low boil for about 15 minutes and then simmer for about 10 minutes with the same results... just sort of fly by the seat of your pants on this one.  Enjoy...
