Here are some salsa receipes posted last August 17, 2006. Have you tried any of them?

Fresh Tomato Salsa


Ingredients:


12 Red Tomatoes, chopped

6 medium onions, finely chopped

3 medium green Bell or Sweet pepper, finely chopped

One 12 oz. jar pickled jalapeno pepper, Drained and diced

6 T. Sugar

2 t. salt

6 T. Vegetable Oil

6 T. Lemon juice

6 T. Cider Vinegar

2-3 garlic cloves, finely minced

3 T. Dried Cilantro leaves

Three 15 oz. cans tomato sauce ( or two cans of sauce and one 12 oz. can of paste for extra thickness)

3 t. dried oregano leaves


Mix all ingredients together and chill to blend flavors.

The volume is about one gallon.

I use a food processor to grind the onions, peppers, and jalapeno peppers. I also use bought minced garlic. I use two cans of tomato sauce and 1 of tomato paste.

I also put onion in my salsa.... :)

I have made some salsa this year and it turned out awesome.

I dont know exactly how many lbs of tomatoes we used, but I think that I used about 30 or so lbs. I used a blender to "chop" up the tomatoes when I made the salsa because I like the salsa really thick but not really chuncky. Then we added around 1-2 diced green peppers, 7-8 chopped cayenne peppers, 1 teaspoon of black and red pepper spice mix, oregano, basil, salt, garlic powder to taste. I cooked it all day on lower settings, one batch cooked overnight just to get to the thickness that I wanted.

It turned out really good, and quite spicy (Kids think it is too spicy, I think it is just right!)

This is the one I use....simple and very good. You can make it as hot as you want! Hope you enjoy!!
