Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups fresh tomatoes
2 cups bell peppers, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup jalapeno, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

Steps:

  • Skin tomatoes. (I place tomatoes in boiling water for 45-60 seconds or until skins split - remove from water and peel.)
  • Rough chop and remove seeds from tomatoes.
  • Combine all ingredients in large sauce pan. Bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer 45 minutes stirring often.
  • Pour into hot sterile jars. Wipe down rim of jar. Screw on lid and hand tighten.
  • Place in boiling water bath and process for 15-20 minutes.
  • Tip: Be sure and label your batches. As the summer progresses peppers can get hotter. I also sometimes blend the batch before I can.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and free of blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes before making salsa enhances their flavor and gives them a smoky, caramelized taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salsa will taste. If possible, use fresh herbs, onions, garlic, and peppers.
  • Don't over-process your salsa: Salsa should have a chunky texture, so don't over-process it in the food processor or blender. Pulse the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste. You may also want to add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper.

Conclusion:

Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for dipping chips, tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. You can also use it as a marinade for chicken or fish, or as a topping for grilled vegetables. No matter how you use it, homemade salsa is always a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give this Grandma's Salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
