Cooked Red Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil and add the jalapenos, sweet peppers, garlic and onion.
• Sauté until everything is soft but not browned.
• Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are quite soft and starting to pack down in the pot, about 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients and cook for about 10 minutes more to give the flavours a chance to mix together and the water to boil off.
• When the salsa is as thick as you like it, add salt to taste if needed and let stand for at least one minute.
• Stir well before serving.

Steps:

• In a hot, dry skillet, blister the jalapenos, turning until blackened on all sides. Remove from the skillet and let cool.
• When cool enough to handle, stem, seed, and roughly chop.
• Add the tomatoes and jalapenos to a blender or food processor, and puree to desired consistency.
• Add garlic salt to taste, keeping in mind that the taste will become more pronounced after it chills.
• Store in a pint jar in the fridge.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, chili pepper and salt and cook for 2 minutes longer. Add the tomatoes and their juices and reduce the heat to low. Cook the tomatoes, stirring occasionally to break them up, until soft and the juices have reduced by half, 10-15 minutes.
• Let cool slightly, then transfer to a blender. Puree until smooth, then strain through a sieve placed over a bowl. Set aside to cool completely for use as a table salsa. Or reheat gently over low heat to use hot. To store, cover tightly and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
• Serving Size = 2 tablespoons.

Steps:

• In blender, place all ingredients except oil. Cover; blend until smooth.
• In 2-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add tomato mixture; cook about 5 minutes or until hot. Serve warm or cold with tortilla chips, as desired. Cover and refrigerate any remaining salsa.

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.
