Homemade Salsa
 

I tried my hand at making some salsa this afternoon. After trying the end result I was very pleased and proud of myself. Only bad part was I burnt my mouth my not letting it cool off first and couldn't really enjoy it. Attachment 55249

No it has a greenish color from the cilantro. The picture didn't come out that great. I'll try to post another picture.

looks like its fresh from a new born baby

I make salsa every now and then and have never cooked it. I want to see this recipe please. Cooking may make it easier to can?

LOL, spoken like a man that has changed a diaper or 2!!

My buddy has some mexicans for his farm and they make that stuff from scratch also

Best (but hot)

Here's my recipe for homemade salsa!
Very easy to make! Everyone that eats it loves it so y'all let me know what y'all think.

Bay Bolt i see you have crushed tomatoes in your recipe. I was told by a pro chef that you should never use that. Reason being is that is where all the bad looking tomaotes go. The tomatos roll down a line, inspectors reject the bad ones, from there they go down another line and workers cut off the bad parts and send them down the crushed tomato line. He said to always buy whole tomatos and crush them yourself.

Never knew that! Thanks for the info!

Here is my recipe and I guarantee you will love this stuff, everyone I gave some to said it was best they ever ate anywhere, I trippled this recipe:
8 cups fresh tomatoes, peeled/diced/drained
3 cups onion chopped
2 cups bell pepper diced small
1 1/2 cup cayenne diced fine ( 1 cup if you don't want hot )
6-7 garlic cloves minced
2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 cup canning salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup vinegar
1 15oz tomato sauce
1 12 oz can tomato paste
Mix all ingredients & bring to boil and cook till onion/bell peppers done.

Unless you want it chunky, I took a hand held blender with cutting blades and pureed salsa to my liking ( less chunky )

Can in jars to your size liking.

I make mine very similiar, but I put in some Jalapeno pepper and lots of finely chopped celery. I like mine crunch, so I don't cook it. I also put in a lot more sugar.

I put in the fridge over night......and stir it up a few times before eating.

I usually use fresh tomatoes, cut up into small pices or sometimes I take out some frozen [chopped up] stewed tomatoes to use.

Copied your recipe tonight with my own spin. It was a lot of salsa but very good.
