ROCKIN' SALSA
This is a recipe I came up with by combining two of my favorite recipes into one awesome recipe. You can make this salsa as hot as you want by adding more peppers.

Steps:
- Combine red onion, white onion, yellow onion, tomatoes, banana peppers, green peppers, tomato paste, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, cumin, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large pot. Simmer until thick, about 3 hours.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the salsa into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a 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 over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 to 15 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). Refrigerate after opening.

KICKIN' HOT GRILLED VEGGIES & BLACK BEANS SALSA
This recipe strays a bit from the traditional varieties of salsa by starting with grilled veggies and adding unexpected kick from two kinds of paprika (hot Hungarian and smoked Spanish.)

KATE'S KICKIN' SPICE BLEND
I put this together because I found myself using these same seasonings a lot in everyday cooking and I finally got tired of adding things separately! I use (with a tablespoon of olive oil) to season water before I steam greens or corn, to roast potatoes or yams (cut into 1/2 inch cubes and toss with olive oil), as a dry rub on meat for bbq, and in soups to add a little extra kick. It tastes similar to the seasoning they use in some restaurants for French fries. I use it pretty liberally because I like extra spice, can be used more sparingly if you like less. Start with a tablespoon and make it yours!

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
- Choose the right tomatoes: There are many different varieties of tomatoes, but not all of them are good for salsa. Some of the best varieties include Roma tomatoes, plum tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky, caramelized taste.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and oregano add a bright, flavorful touch to salsa.
- Don't over-process your salsa: A good salsa should have some texture. If you over-process it, it will become too smooth and lose its flavor.
- Taste your salsa as you go: Salsa is a personal preference, so taste it as you go and adjust the ingredients to your liking.
- Let your salsa rest: After you make your salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, there is a salsa recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a way to add some excitement to your meal, try making a batch of homemade salsa. You won't be disappointed!
