Zucchini Salsa (Canned) image

This is a delicious salsa recipe that my sister-in-law and I have adapted to a flavor combo that we like. It's thick and crunchy with fresh garden veggies. Each bite will start with a slightly sweet taste which is followed by a slow burst of heat. You can add more chopped ripe tomatoes to make it thinner or more jalapeno peppers or red pepper flakes to give it the heat explosion that you desire. From the kitchens of Michele Harvey Thornburg and Tona Thornburg Court.
