What is the shelf life of the sealed, unopened jars?
Pretty much forever. As long as you are sure the seal takes hold it should last 2-3 yrs.
Bell peppers? I use serrano and poblano peppers with the jalapeno, 1 each. I also use 4 roma tomatoes and 2 tomatillos and chopped fresh cilantro. It's a little on the warm side but flavorful.
I'm looking for a restaurant style salsa like Don Cuco's. Is this like that?
I'm not sure how similar but it should be, yes.
