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.

FREEZER SALSA



Freezer Salsa image

This recipe came from a Country Woman Magazine, unfortunately I didn't make note of what issue or who sent it in. You can add one jalapeno, seeded if you want the heat. For some reason it won't show that you can use either sweet red pepper or green pepper. My husband really loves this salsa! Prep and Cooking times are just estimates.
