Steps:
- Husk the tomatillos and then rinse both the tomatoes and tomatillos. I usually remove the stems from both of them knowing that any juices leftover in the roasting pan will go into the blender.
- Roast the tomatoes and tomatillos in a 400F oven for 20-25 minutes. Here's why roasting tomatillos is better than boiling them.
- Add the roasted tomatoes and tomatillos to a blender along with 1/3 small onion, 1 peeled garlic clove, 1 rinsed and de-stemmed jalapeno (or less for a milder version), 10-12 sprigs rinsed cilantro. Combine well (I usually leave it a bit chunky.)
- Take a taste for seasoning. I added another 1/2 jalapeno, a pinch of salt, and a generous squeeze of lime.
- Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for a bit before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge where they will keep for a few days.

ROASTED TOMATILLO AND GARLIC SALSA
Tomatillos, lots of garlic and spicy jalapenos charred under the broiler give this salsa a rich, earthy flavor. If you like your salsa very hot, added roasted Jamaican scotch bonnets instead of the jalapeno.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven's broiler. Arrange the whole cloves of garlic, tomatillos, and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Place under the broiler, and cook for a few minutes. Remove garlic cloves first, as soon as they are toasted, to avoid developing a bitter flavor. Continue to roast jalapenos and tomatillos until evenly charred, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool. Don't remove the charred parts of the tomatillos or the peppers. They add a really nice flavor.
- Place peppers and tomatillos in a blender with the garlic and cilantro. Add a little water to the mixture if necessary to facilitate blending. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving.

ROASTED TOMATILLO SALSA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Add the tomatillos to a baking sheet along with the jalapenos and onion wedges. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and roast about 7 minutes. Turn the vegetables, add the garlic and roast until everything is slightly softened and charred, another 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Peel the garlic and remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos. Add the roasted vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until still slightly chunky but well combined. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until incorporated. With the processor running, stream in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil until the salsa is slightly runny but not smooth. At this point you can season with additional salt if desired.
- Serve with chips or as a salsa for tacos and burritos.

ROASTED TOMATILLO, TOMATO N CHILE SALSA
Roasted veggies A pH of 4.6 or lower is required for safe canning without the use of pressure processing. So don't skip the lime juice and vinegar. You can also check amount of salsa after blending. Mine came to 10 cups pureed so I had 10 jars and lids ready.

Steps:
- Sterilize jars and leave in hot water or dishwasher while you prepare the salsa ingredients.
- Put the tomatillos, tomatoes, onions, fresh chiles and garlic in a single layer on two large rimmed baking sheets and roast for 25-35 minutes, or until charred in spots. The tomatillos and tomatoes will be soft, collapsed, and leaking juices.
- Allow to cool slightly before blending.
- Peal the garlic cloves and place into a blender add the cilantro, roasted veggies, chipotle in adobo sauce, chiles and cilantro. Blend to a chunky or smooth (your choice) pour into a large pot add lime juice, vinegar, ( the last two are nessesary for a proper PH), sugar, salt and cumin. Boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Ladle the hot salsa into the jar, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
- Remove air bubbles and re-measure headspace. If needed, add more salsa to meet recommended headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band and adjust until fit is fingertip tight.
- Repeat with the remaining jars.
- Place jars in to the hot water bath, making sure that the water covers the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes to process (at sea level), and an additional minute per 1,000 ft above sea level (I live at 5280, so I boiled for a extra five minutes). Remove the jars to a folded towel and leave undisturbed for 12 hours. After an hour, check to see if the jars have sealed by pressing down on the middle of the jar lid. If it can be pressed down, it hasn't sealed and should be refrigerated immediately. Store the jars in a dark area.

Tips:
- For the freshest salsa, use ripe tomatillos that are firm and green. Avoid any that are soft or have brown spots.
- To roast the tomatillos, you can either use a grill, a broiler, or a cast iron skillet. If using a grill or broiler, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a cast iron skillet, heat it over medium heat.
- Once the tomatillos are roasted, let them cool slightly before handling. Then, remove the husks and chop them into quarters.
- For the salsa, you can use any type of onion you like. Red onions, white onions, and yellow onions all work well.
- If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro instead. However, fresh cilantro will give the salsa a brighter flavor.
- Be sure to taste the salsa before serving and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more lime juice, salt, or pepper.
