PROOF OF STEEMIT PHOTOS ! IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU! So this is how I spent my day off this Sunday! Making homemade salsa!MY SONS LOVE THIS STUFF! This salsa was made with the tomatoes , garlic, hot peppers , and red onions all grown in my boyfriends and my garden out in Beaverdell! So it truly was home made from the garden to the dinner table! And let me tell you its smokin hot! There isnt really a recipe per say ! Just chop all your favorite vegetables put it in a big pot to cook awile , then jar it up in sterilized jars from your dishwasher!
I then put it in a boiling water bath for 20 to 30 min. And done ! Yippee! Heres a basic list of the stuff i put in my salsa which i make every fall in October! 🌶🍅🌶🍅🌶🍅🌶
20 to 30 Tomatoes ( put 1 min in boiling water to remove skins easily ) chop /dice up!
7 jalapeños ( diced up small do not remove seeds unless you want a mild salsa!
3 large red onions ( diced)
1 head of garlic ( 7 cloves minced)
2 celery sticks ( diced or sliced thinly)
1/2 bunch of celantro ( found in produce section ) chopped up like you would parsley!
1 juice of lemon
1 can tomato paste
1 can enchilada sauce🌶🍅🌶
(#1) 2 tbsp salt , shake in some chilli pepper flakes , or your favorite spices, just add whatever you like and just keep taste testing as it cooks down a bit , and once it starts thickening your peppers and onions should be cooked , just turn it down to low or remove it from the stove if your ready to start filling your hot jars from the dishwasher!
(#2) when filling jars leave a 1/4 inch head space , be sure to wipe the rims of the jars before putting lids on , put on screw caps dont over tighten .🌶🍅🌶
(#3) Put in boiling water bath 20 to 30 min, remove , slightly tighten screw bands on as they will loosen in water bath, and that it ! Let cool, you will them start snapping and thats a great sign they properly sealed ! Once canned they will last for years in a cool dark cupboard! 🌶🍅🌶
I really hope you guys will try to can your own homemade salsa! Its really quite easy, just alot of chopping ! But the end product is so delicious my jars disappear as soon as i open them! I usually need to hide one so I have it for Christmas entertaining! I love the fact that i know its organic, home grown, homemade, no crap in it like that store bought stuff thats loaded with salt! 🌶🍅🌶
Just chop up and add whatever you like! Make it your own! Sometimes I add corn or beans to a few jars as well so I have a mixture of different salsas! I love putting salsa in omelets, on scrambled eggs, its a great dip for ripple chips, and i love it on tacos too!
