salsa

My mom had extra tomatoes, green peppers, and garlic cloves from her garden, so I decided to make freezer salsa. My first bite consisted of pure jalepenos. I wasn't sure if we were going to eat all of our salsa. But, I dared to eat more and the more I ate the more I loved it!

Here is the recipe I used:

5 LG tomatoes
1 TBSP cilantro
1 MED onion
2 garlic cloves
2 jalapenos w/ seeds
1/2 cup green pepper
1/2 TBSP cumin
1 TBSP salt
1 TBSP vinegar
1 lime, juice

Peel & chop tomatoes. Chop cilantro, onion, garlic, green pepper and jalapenos. Add all together in a large pot.

Add cumin, salt, vinegar, and juice. Stir together.

Bring to boil and lower temperature. Keep at low boil for 2-3 or until tomato water has boiled down to about half.

Fill containers, leaving 1/2 inch clearance. Cool completely. Place lids and freeze. Keeps for one year. Makes 5 8-oz jars.

  1. Homemade salsa is the best. I'm thankful that my family (especially Chris) will eat it even though they don't eat tomatoes.
