Peppy Salsa...you Choose the Heat!

Recipe #103560 | 2¼ hours | 45 min prep | add private note

This is the salsa recipe I have been using for years. Simple and versatile because you can choose how hot you want to make it. It was given to me by a dear friend, but I think it is originally a Jean Pare recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! We will never buy salsa again...you may not either.

4 jars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large pot mix all ingredients well and simmer for one and a half hours.
  2. 2
    Stir occasionally and reduce to consistency of your liking.
  3. 3
    Place in sterilzed jars.
  4. 4
    Wipe the rim of the jars with a very clean damp cloth.
  5. 5
    Put heated lids and rings on the jars.
  6. 6
    and seal in water bath for 10-15 minutes.
  7. 7
    Yeild is a wild guess, depending on jar size.

This salsa is terrific! I made about 3/4 of the recipe because I didn't have enough tomatoes, and ended up with about a gallon of salsa, if that helps anyone better gauge the yield. I also found that even after adding 2 1/2 cups of jalapeƱos, the salsa was barely mild at best. Next time, I'll double that amount, because I like a lot of heat. All in all, Fantastic!

    Wonderful recipe for homemade salsa! I am rating this higher than 5 stars. I halved the recipe and made one in mild and the other half in medium, and will be using them for my dip recipes for my party, so I did not put any in jars to seal and store away (that will be the next batch I make). I made this salsa days ago and left it in the fridge to blend the flavors. This is much better and fresher tasting than store bought and the heat can be adjusted more easily to suit taste. If anyone is looking for a wonderful homemade salsa recipe I highly reccommend trying this one, it's an excellent recipe. Thank you sarahsmomi for another winner!...Kittencal
