Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     condiment

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles, such as Rotel
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 whole lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
  • Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
  • Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

SALSA MY WAY



SALSA MY WAY image

Categories     Tomato

Yield 1 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 pints (12 cups or 3/4 gallon) diced tomatoes, fresh or can, fresh is best
4 large bell peppers, diced, green and yellow add nice color to the salsa
2 large onions, diced, yellow have the strongest flavor
Jalapeno's, diced, as many as you like
Green Chile Peppers, to taste
4 cloves garlic, mashed -or-1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon white pepper, powder
1 tablespoon red pepper, crushed
1/4 cup brown sugar, or raw sugar cane
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon cumin

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients in large pot - bring to a rolling boil - turn down heat - Cook 20 minutes. - Pour into a sterile glass gallon jar. Put into the fridge and serve at will. This lasts us about 2 weeks. I guess that you could put this in pint jars and can them if you like. -- You will find that I did not include cilantro in this recipe. I am allergic to it. It tastes and smells like ivory soap to me and then I bloat out and have to go to the hosptial. You may want to use a tablespoon or more of fresh chopped cilantro in your recipe. ------ ------ Leaving everything raw will result in a salsa with a bright, refreshing taste. Raw salsa is also known as "salsa cruda." - Roasting the tomatoes, garlic and/or chiles first will lend a rich, smoky flavor to your finished dish. - If you cook the salsa, you'll trade in the fresh taste for a deeper, sweeter one. --My NOTE-- I use the liquid, if I use 6 cans of diced tomatoes - I use the liquid in the cans. If I use fresh tomatoes, I save the juice off of them. I prefer a thin sauced chunky salsa. It is for this reason I do not use a food processer or tomato sauce in the recipe. Its the way La Casa(??) made it before they closed their door. And yes I know their is a brand out there called that, but it came out after this place closed up and it is not the same...

THE BEST CANNING SALSA

This is a great use for tomatoes from the garden and nothing tastes better than homemade. Enjoy!

Provided by cookingmama

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Dips and Spreads Recipes     Salsa Recipes     Tomato Salsa Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 17

Number Of Ingredients 13

30 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
10 cups chopped onions
2 cups vinegar
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 green bell peppers, chopped
2 red bell peppers, chopped
4 banana peppers, chopped
½ cup white sugar, or more to taste
10 cloves garlic, chopped
8 teaspoons pickling salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
17 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
  • Use a variety of peppers: Different peppers will give your salsa different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild salsa, use green bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use poblano or Anaheim peppers. For a hot salsa, use jalapeños or habaneros.
  • Add some acidity: Acidity helps to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes and peppers. You can add acidity with lime juice, lemon juice, or vinegar.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your salsa before you serve it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or cumin.

Conclusion:

With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a salsa that you love. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, there's a salsa out there for everyone. So get creative and experiment with different ingredients until you find your perfect salsa. Enjoy this journey and happy cooking!
