BARBARA'S HOT SALSA



Barbara's Hot Salsa image

We love tomatoes! Every year, when our tomatoes come in, I make spaghetti sauce, can some of the tomatoes, do sun dried tomatoes with the romas, and make fresh salsa. I usually can the salsa, too. I love making it extremely hot, as it tends to mellow in the canning process. Sometimes, though, the heat just comes right on through. It is not a raw type of hot, but with the canning, it tends to age quite nicely. I keep a crock of salsa going all Summer and Fall. I don't can it until the flavors have had a change to mingle and the raw taste is gone. (about 3-4 days)

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of peppers: Different peppers will give your salsa different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild salsa, use only bell peppers. For a medium salsa, add some jalapeños or serranos. For a hot salsa, use habaneros or cayenne peppers.
  • Roast your peppers: Roasting peppers will bring out their natural sweetness and smokiness. To roast peppers, simply place them on a baking sheet and broil them until they are charred and blistered. Then, remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Some good options include cilantro, basil, oregano, cumin, and garlic.
  • Don't overcook your salsa: Salsa is best when it is fresh and flavorful. Don't overcook it, or it will lose its vibrant color and taste.

Conclusion:

Making homemade salsa is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and peppers. It's also a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on tacos, burritos, nachos, and more. With a little practice, you'll be able to make salsa that's perfect for your taste. So get creative and experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find a recipe that you love.
