My Three Favorite Salsa Recipes
The first recipe comes fresh from my garden every year; it's a classic tomato salsa.
The second recipe is perfect for any get-together. It has the perfect combination of black beans, corn, peppers, onions, and herbs.
The third recipe has more variety, using several different kinds of tomatoes, peppers, onions, and fresh herbs from my herb garden.
I hope you enjoy these salsa recipes as much as I have.
Chunky Tomato Salsa Recipe
Fresh from my garden
This is my favorite chunky tomato salsa recipe.
Every year I enjoy planting a salsa garden in anticipation of canning and eating lots of fresh tomato salsa.
This is the recipe I have used for years. I eat it with corn chips, put it in soups, and use it in my favorite Mexican dishes. It's easy to make and simple to can.
Ingredients
- 12 cups peeled and diced tomatoes
- 1/3 cup minced Jalapenos
- 2 cups diced green bell peppers
- 3 to 4 cups chopped yellow onions
- 1/2 cup pure cane granulated sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 5 minced garlic cloves
- 1 large can of tomato paste
- 12 ounces
Instructions
Chunky Tomato Salsa:
Mix all ingredients together, bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy!
To can: Ladle hot salsa into hot, prepared, sterilizes pint-size canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the rim of the jar with a clean wet cloth and adjust the lids. Process in a boiling water-bath canner for 15 minutes; remove from canner and allow to cool completely .
See Mama's Homestead for instructions on how to prepare the jars and lids for canning: http://www.mamashomestead.com/preparing-jars-and-lids-for-canning/
Warning: Please use rubber gloves when working with jalapeno peppers, as the oils can burn your skin.
