Zucchini Salsa, Canned image

This recipe is from a friend's, daughter's mother-in-law (kinda like a 5th cousin twice removed and it is delicious! If you want it "HOT" just add a dozen finely chopped jalapenos. I do not water bath the jars but I am very careful with sterilizing and make sure the lids are sealed. I you feel better waterbathing them do it for 15 minutes.

ZUCCHINI SALSA (CANNED)

Zucchini Salsa (Canned) image

This is a delicious salsa recipe that my sister-in-law and I have adapted to a flavor combo that we like. It's thick and crunchy with fresh garden veggies. Each bite will start with a slightly sweet taste which is followed by a slow burst of heat. You can add more chopped ripe tomatoes to make it thinner or more jalapeno peppers or red pepper flakes to give it the heat explosion that you desire. From the kitchens of Michele Harvey Thornburg and Tona Thornburg Court.
