AMAZING SALSA



Amazing Salsa image

I've always loved salsa, but it's been really hard to find the perfect recipe. I like my salsa to have a sauce to it and many veggies and just the right amount of heat. I tend to like things a bit hotter then your average person but even so, I consider this recipe to be mild for a hotter salsa, add a hotter peppers like Habaneros or if you're bold ghost peppers. It took many attempts to get this recipe right so I thought id share it with you. "I've caned salsa before, but I've never tried to can this salsa. I'm a novice canner, and I'm not sure if this recipe would keep in cans. Please msg me if you can shed some light on this."

Time 2h30m

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ounces dried chilies, new mexico, california, or similar
20 dried chilies, de arbol depending on how hot you like the sauce
8 cups boiling water
14 roma tomatoes, 10 peeled 4 unpeeled
1 1/2 onions
6 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 lemon juice
1 tablespoon sherry wine
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 -3 jalapeno peppers
1 cup cilantro

Steps:

  • Clean chilies with a damp cloth, then pull of the stems and remove the seeds and veins "I keep the seeds for the chili arbol because I like it hotter".
  • Place peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast in 350°F oven for 2 to 5 minutes or until you smell a sweet roasted aroma, checking often to avoid burning.
  • Remove from oven and soak in the boiling water for about 30 minutes or until cool "I like to break up the chilies before I soak them".
  • Put peppers and 2 cups of the soaking water into a blender "Add more if the sauce is too thick, it will thicken slightly after simmered".
  • Add 10 peeled tomatoes, 1/2 onion, garlic, salt, vinegar, lime juice, sherry and brown sugar "If you do not know how to peel tomatoes check out this instructional video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmLR5ayrJzU".

MOM'S SALSA



Mom's Salsa image

This has been a favorite in our family for as long as I can remember. I use it on tacos, chimichangas, with chips, tamales, enchiladas, burritos, scrambled eggs, taco salads, Mexican rice, huevos rancheros, fried potatoes...you get the point. This recipe is an ATTEMPT to get the spices right since Mom doesn't measure the ingredients. (Nor do I.) ;) Feel free to adjust seasonings to your taste. Please note: The salsa needs to sit in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours for the flavors to meld.

EX-GIRLFRIEND'S MOM'S SALSA FRESCA (PICO DE GALLO)



Ex-Girlfriend's Mom's Salsa Fresca (Pico de Gallo) image

My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted back in college. Over the years, I have tweaked it to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapenos in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. There are two tricks to this recipe: 1. Hand-chop everything. It takes a while, but it is worth it. 2. The marinating is what makes this salsa special. Hope you enjoy.

MAMA'S SALSA RECIPE



Mama's Salsa Recipe image

This is my Salsa recipe that has been adapted from many different recipes over the years. I use my food processor to eliminate alot of the work. Add more crushed red pepper to adjust the heat to your desire and less sugar if you find it too sweet. We like the mix of the sweet with the spicy. Every year the tomatoes are different, but as a rule of thumb-a 5 gallon bucket of tomatoes will yield 4 batches of salsa. This year I made 12 batches. When the kids leave for college in the fall they make sure they take plenty since there may not be any left when they come back. This year they are getting a few jars at Christmas that I stashed back!

Time 12h45m

Yield 7 pints

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 cups tomatoes, chopped
5 cups onions, chopped
1/4 cup pickling salt
1 cup vinegar
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon red pepper, crushed
3 cups green peppers, chopped
10 garlic cloves, minced
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can tomato paste

Steps:

  • Sprinkle pickling salt over chopped tomatoes and onions and let stand overnight.
  • In the morning drain all liquid from the veggies and place the veggies in a large stock pot.
  • To the pot add the vinegar, sugar and crushed red pepper.
  • Bring to a boil and boil for 45 minutes.
  • Add chopped green peppers, minced garlic cloves and tomato paste and boil for 20 minutes.
  • Pour into hot sterilized jars and place in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
  • NOTE: To make Sweet & Hot Salsa I removed all of the garlic cloves, reduced the green peppers to 1 1/2 cups & used 1/2 tablespoon ground (cayenne) red pepper instead of the crushed red pepper. Just a few simple changes but the flavor is amazing!
