Best Bonnies Fresh Spanish Salsa Recipes

PICO DE GALLO (FRESH SALSA)

Steps:

• Prep the ingredients: Roughly chop the tomatoes, chili peppers, and onions. Be careful while handling the chili peppers. Use a plastic baggie or disposable gloves to handle them, or wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours. Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers. If the salsa isn't hot enough, you can add a few for more heat.
• Make the salsa: Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade. Pulse only a few times, just enough to finely dice the ingredients and not enough to purée. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely dice by hand.
• Adjust seasonings: Place in a serving bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the chilis make the salsa too hot, add some more chopped tomato. If it's not hot enough, carefully add a few of the seeds from the chilis, or add a little more ground cumin. If you like, let the salsa sit for an hour (room temperature or chilled) for the flavors to combine.
• Serve: Serve with chips, tortillas, tacos, burritos, tostadas, quesadillas , or pinto or black beans. The salsa will keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.

THE BEST CANNING 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.

BONNIE'S MEXICAN SALSA

Steps:

• This recipe will make around two cups of fresh salsa. I make it in the container I am storing it in. Cleanup is easier.
• Put all the ingredients in the container in the order given. Mix gently. Taste to see if it has enough salt. I serve it with restaurant chips or Doritos. Everyone seems to love it. So I make a lot when I make it.
• We think it is good to eat made fresh, or if you let it chill in the fridge and marry the flavors, it is even better. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S FRESH SPANISH SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Use all fresh ingredients for the best results. In a medium mixing bowl, add the fresh diced tomatoes and diced onion and minced garlic. We like our salsa with a little juice. This will depend on how juicy your tomatoes are. If you want it drier, remove the excess and set aside in case you decide you want it wetter.
• 2. Add the rest of the ingredients, fine diced jalapeno and Anaheim peppers that have been seeded and the white membrane removed. Add 3 tablespoons of Marsala wine, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro or more to taste, juice of one lime and the pulp, Kosher salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
• 3. Serve with your favorite chips or Latin food. This salsa is great on nachos or with eggs, too. Here is how it looks! Enjoy!
