GROUND CHERRY SALSA



Ground Cherry Salsa image

I love salsa with a hint of natural sweetness and ground cherries are a perfect addition. This is a relatively mild salsa; if you like it spicier, don't remove the jalapeno seeds, or increase the amount of jalapeno. I use only organic produce, so I don't peel the cucumber.

CHERRY TOMATO SALSA

Turn backyard cherry tomatoes into a colorful, and tasty,salsa.

Provided by admin

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 cups chopped cherry tomatoes
3 1/2 cups chopped Anaheim peppers
2 medium jalapeno peppers
1 1/3 cups chopped onion
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons pickling salt
1 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice

Steps:

  • Wash tomatoes and peppers before chopping. Peel onion and garlic.
  • Chop cherry tomatoes (I usually cut them in half or in quarters, depending on size), peppers, onion, and garlic.
  • Combine all ingredients in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Ladle hot salsa into pint jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Wipe jar rims with damp paper towel.
  • Cover with two-piece lids. Process in water bath canner for15 minutes.
  • Makes about 4 pints of salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet cherries: This will ensure the best flavor for your salsa.
  • Use fresh herbs: Cilantro, basil, and mint are all great options for adding freshness and flavor to your salsa.
  • Don't over chop the ingredients: You want the salsa to have some texture, so don't chop the ingredients too finely.
  • Adjust the heat level to your liking: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or two. If you prefer a milder salsa, omit the peppers.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or chill it for later: Cherry salsa is great served immediately, but it can also be chilled for later. If you're chilling the salsa, let it come to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Cherry salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for topping tacos, burritos, and nachos. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. And it's even great as a marinade for chicken or fish.
