Best Not Too Hot Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Combine onion and garlic in a food processor; process until finely chopped.
• Pour tomatoes into a bowl. Stir in chopped onion and garlic. Add cilantro, cumin, oregano, and parsley.

Steps:

• Using a blender pour entire contents of the can of whole tomatoes, liquid and all into blender.
• Add finely chopped green onion, the red pepper and salt.
• Pulse a few times in blender until the consistency of salsa.
• You may want to taste and adjust everything but tomatoes to taste, if you like it hotter, etc.
• It tastes better if chilled overnight as all the tastes combine together.

Steps:

• Put peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro and cumin in a food processor, and process until finely minced, but not a paste.
• Or, if you're mincing the peppers by hand-be SURE to wear rubber gloves, as the oil from the peppers is very irritating to skin and eyes.
• Add seasonings, vinegar, olive oil and water and mix well.
• Store in a glass container with a tight fitting lid (I use the larger size of baby food jars).
• Stores well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
• Serve on chips, eggs, grilled chicken, in burritos, on tacos, mixed into rice or beans, anything you can think of!

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or 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 and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 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). Store in a cool, dark area.

Steps:

• Combine canned and fresh tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a food processor; pulse 5 times to chop. Add cilantro, serrano and jalapeno peppers, lime juice, salt, and cumin and process for 10 seconds. Pulse further to desired consistency. Check and adjust seasoning as desired.
