Salsa jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is typically made with fresh tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices, but there are many variations on the classic recipe. This article provides recipes for three different salsa jams: a traditional tomato salsa jam, a roasted red pepper salsa jam, and a mango salsa jam. All three recipes are easy to make and can be stored in the freezer for up to six months.
The traditional tomato salsa jam is made with fresh tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, and spices. It has a slightly spicy flavor and is perfect for adding a kick to tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. The roasted red pepper salsa jam is made with roasted red peppers, onions, garlic, and spices. It has a smoky, sweet flavor and is great for serving with grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. The mango salsa jam is made with fresh mangoes, onions, peppers, garlic, and spices. It has a tropical, fruity flavor and is perfect for adding a sweet and tangy flavor to grilled chicken or fish.
All three of these salsa jams are a great way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. They are also a healthy and convenient way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables.

Steps:
- Peel tomatoes by cutting a small shallow "X" in the bottom, then placing in boiling water for 45-60 seconds until skin starts to peel back and wrinkle. Remove from boiling water and place into ice bath for 1-2 minutes. Then skin should easily peel off.
- Remove seeds by taking peeled tomatoes, cutting in half along the equator (not through the blossom/stem end) and squeezing over sink or bowl.
- Pulse tomatoes in food processor to roughly chop.
- Dice or chop bell peppers and onions.
- Wearing plastic gloves, cut open the jalapeno peppers longways and scoop out seeds. Then dice finely. (See note)
- Place all ingredients into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 35-45 minutes, depending on how thick you like your salsa. (I like mine thicker, so I simmer for almost the full time.)
- Remove from heat and allow salsa to cool. Ladle into freezer containers or freezer bags. Label containers and place in freezer.

DINER'S FREEZER SALSA
This is a salsa developed because I hate to can and my husband insists on planting at least 100 tomato plants each year. It lasts about a year in the freezer. Last year we ran out at Christmas. Update, I taught my husband how to make and can salsa so we are canning now, probably better. We also have added the limes and some habaneros to taste for the hotter salsa.
