FREEZER SALSA

This recipe is a great reason for growing tomatoes and peppers in your garden. It was published in Chatelaine and I made a few small changes. Place a cup or two in freezer bags, press flat and freeze. Thaws quickly for snack attacks.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

10-12 large tomatoes, diced, seeded and peeled (about 8 cups)
2 green bell peppers, diced
2 large onions, diced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely diced
2 6oz cans tomato paste
1 10oz can condensed tomato soup
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/2 tablespoon garlic salt
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1-3 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Peel tomatoes by cutting a small shallow "X" in the bottom, then placing in boiling water for 45-60 seconds until skin starts to peel back and wrinkle. Remove from boiling water and place into ice bath for 1-2 minutes. Then skin should easily peel off.
  • Remove seeds by taking peeled tomatoes, cutting in half along the equator (not through the blossom/stem end) and squeezing over sink or bowl.
  • Pulse tomatoes in food processor to roughly chop.
  • Dice or chop bell peppers and onions.
  • Wearing plastic gloves, cut open the jalapeno peppers longways and scoop out seeds. Then dice finely. (See note)
  • Place all ingredients into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 35-45 minutes, depending on how thick you like your salsa. (I like mine thicker, so I simmer for almost the full time.)
  • Remove from heat and allow salsa to cool. Ladle into freezer containers or freezer bags. Label containers and place in freezer.

DINER'S FREEZER SALSA



Diner's Freezer Salsa image

This is a salsa developed because I hate to can and my husband insists on planting at least 100 tomato plants each year. It lasts about a year in the freezer. Last year we ran out at Christmas. Update, I taught my husband how to make and can salsa so we are canning now, probably better. We also have added the limes and some habaneros to taste for the hotter salsa.
