Sure - But you need to ensure that it's strong enough to take bacteria in many ways like dents, empty vacuum spaces, etc.

Or, you can double boil it after canning.

Or, you can steam bake it after canning.

You don't have to...but it generally tastes better if you do. Especially when it comes to onion.

Cooked salsa is much sweeter, smoother, but has a bit of a ketchup flavor. Uncooked salsa is zippy, green-tasting, and can be astringent and bitey.

A good middle of the road can be to fry or carmelize the onions before putting them in fresh salsa. Hot peppers, particularly the really hot ones, get a more even, rounded heat when cooked.

So my long answer is that salsa is better cooked but can be good "raw" too, with a few caveats.

In most cases, no, you don't need to cook a meal before freezing it, unless you want it to be ready-to-eat.

Can you cook vegetables ahead for a big meal?

Yes, you can cook vegetables before a big meal. You can "par" cook them, meaning that they are not completely cooked for consumption, refrigerate them, and then finish cooking them with the remainder of the meal. Or, you can cook them completely, refrigerate them for up to three days, and then reheat them for the meal, or you can freeze them after completely cooking them and just reheat them for the meal. Bottom line - you must refrigerate or freeze them immediately after cooking them the first time or bacteria can grow quickly & ruin them for consumption.
