In batches, place the tomatillos, poblanos, onions, chicken broth, jalapeños, and garlic into a food processor or blender; pulse until combined. Pour into a large stockpot.

Stir the cilantro, lime juice, oregano, and seasoned salt into the tomatillo mixture. Bring to a boil over high heat; lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- 3
Meanwhile, check 10 to 12 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any that are defective. Keep them in simmering water until the tomatillo sauce is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.
- 4
Ladle the tomatillo sauce into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Slide a clean knife or thin spatula around the inside edges to release air bubbles. Wipe the rims with a damp paper towel to remove residue. Place the lids on and tighten the screw rings.

Set a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring to a boil, then use a jar holder to lower the jars into the boiling water, spacing them 2 inches apart. Add more boiling water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Return to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 25 minutes.
- 6
Lift the jars out of the stockpot and let them rest, spaced several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid to confirm it does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and keep in a cool, dark place.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
