recipe in order to be able to can it and store it? I want to make a large batch of salsa tomorrow, but not sure how to can it safely where it will be good later.



Thanks!


This is CJack's salsa recipe, and it's really good!

6 pounds ripe tomatoes
3 cups diced red onions
1 and a half cups cilantro, packed
15 cloves garlic
6 jalapeno peppers, seeded
3 red or green poblano chile peppers, seeded
2 or 3 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices
1 tablespoon salt (at least)
fresh ground pepper to taste
one quarter cup of red wine vinegar

Blanch tomatoes, peel and quarter. Chop everything in food processor until it becomes the consistency you like. (have to do this in several batches) If salso appears runny, you may need to drain extra liquid (never have). Makes about 12 cups.

To give it a little chunkiness....I added 40 or so cherry tomatoes (from my garden) that I blanched and just cut in half's or 4th's... I like to see some of the tomatoes, you could hold back some, and just cut them up with a knife in small chunks if you like it like that. So I really used around 6.5 - 7 pounds last week.

Ok, i figured it out. With the 5% vinegar PLUS a qrt cup of sugar that I added, I have the preserver that I needed. I also added some chili powder and tomato sauce. I doubled this recipe and made a BUNCH of salsa and canned it.


And it's goooood!

wow.....I haven't made that recipe in years.

Hope is canned well. Sounds like a great idea!
