Easy And Delicious Salsa Recipes

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 the tomatoes, onion, and green chile peppers in a bowl; drain briefly. Return the mixture to the bowl; stir the vinegar and salt into the tomato mixture.

Steps:

• Heat jalapenos in a large iron skillet on medium-high heat until skin is semi blackened. Set jalapeno's to the side and cut off stems and slice each jalapeno in half.
• Add the onion slices to the iron skillet and cook for about one-two minutes or until browned and flip slices to brown the other side.
• In a large blender add 1 can of drained diced tomatoes, half of the jalapeno's, and half of the onion slices. (if you are using fresh garlic, add half of the minced garlic to blender).
• Using the pulse setting on the blender, pulse several times until blended and pour into large bowl.
• Use the remainder of the ingredients and pulse in the blender. Add to the rest of your salsa in large bowl.
• Cut limes in half and squeeze into salsa.
• Add pepper, salt, and garlic powder (unless you are using fresh garlic) to taste and mix well.
• Add fresh cilantro to taste (optional).
