First Time

Tasty Tuesday



Homemade Salsa
12 cups skinned tomatoes
3 large onions diced in large chunks
( I use the sweet Vidalia onions)
6 large green peppers cut in large chunks
(I used 3 green and 3 red peppers)
4-5 hot peppers
(I only used 2)
1 & 1/2 cups 5% white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons salt
1 Tablespoon black pepper
Combine all together and let simmer 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
Put clean jars in 200* oven for 1/2 hour.
This will keep them hot and sterilized.
Put lids in pan of water and boil.
Dip boiling salsa into hot jars.
Wipe rims and place hot lids on jar and
screw the on rings on tight.
Jars will seal as they cool.
This is the first time I've ever made it myself, she usually gives us some when she makes it.
This isn't to hot and a tad sweet
and we can eat a jar in one sitting.
I'm in love with it.
Recipe, thanks to my SIL, Sheri.
It's her mother Dora Froisland's family recipe.

I love homemade salsa, I want to put it on everything. This sounds like a great recipe but I would add a little cilantro just because I love the flavor.

Mmm....thanks for posting this! I make fresh salsa all the time, but have wanted to know how to bottle some.

It looks delicious! I like that you only used 2 hot peppers instead of 5. My Dad has accused me of only waving the jalapenos over the salsa because I like it mild.

It looks fabulous Gigi! Mama used to make something similar and it is soooooo good. You should be very proud of yourself.

Mmmm. Homemade salsa is the best! My tomatoes won't be ripe for many more weeks, though, so I'll have to wait to try your recipe.

You cannot be BLUE when you eat homemade Salsa!!
Yeah - ha ha - see what I did there !!!
Seriously I love Salsa and there is nothing better than whipping some up with fresh ingredients Yum!!
I have to say this looks like a great recipe but I would have to add cilantro - not everyone likes it but to me it is a salsa necessity!!

How much does this recipe make?
Looks SO good and pretty easy. I've never tried canning anything myself, although I used to kind of help my mom when I was little. (I was probably more hindrance than help at that age). I'm going to have to try this one day.
