Brad eats a ton of salsa, and since I’m feeling better and cooking more, I figured it’d be cheaper if I started making my own salsa again! I use a recipe adapted from Brad’s mom’s recipe. Mine is a little different as I use more tomatoes and I don’t peel them. It’s super easy, especially if you have a food processor to dice everything!
Here are a couple of pictures of the end result– a clear jar filled with salsa and a little white ramekin with salsa in it. Below the pictures is the recipe.
8–10 large tomatoes, diced (or two large cans of diced tomatoes)
1 large onion, diced
2 bell peppers, diced
8 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
1/2 c vinegar
2 Tbsp salt
Put all ingredients in a large pot and simmer 1.5 to 2.5 hrs, stirring occasionally.
I don’t can this or anything, I just store it in jars in the fridge for several weeks. We eat a lot of salsa so it has never gone bad on our watch!
On a scale of one to ten, how spicy is the salsa?
I’d say it’s a medium salsa. You could use more or less jalapeños for different spice levels.
Sounds close to mine, but I don’t add vinegar
