Best Tomato Tomatillo Salsa Recipes

ROASTED TOMATILLO, TOMATO N CHILE SALSA

Steps:

• Sterilize jars and leave in hot water or dishwasher while you prepare the salsa ingredients.
• Put the tomatillos, tomatoes, onions, fresh chiles and garlic in a single layer on two large rimmed baking sheets and roast for 25-35 minutes, or until charred in spots. The tomatillos and tomatoes will be soft, collapsed, and leaking juices.
• Allow to cool slightly before blending.
• Peal the garlic cloves and place into a blender add the cilantro, roasted veggies, chipotle in adobo sauce, chiles and cilantro. Blend to a chunky or smooth (your choice) pour into a large pot add lime juice, vinegar, ( the last two are nessesary for a proper PH), sugar, salt and cumin. Boil then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Ladle the hot salsa into the jar, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
• Remove air bubbles and re-measure headspace. If needed, add more salsa to meet recommended headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band and adjust until fit is fingertip tight.
• Repeat with the remaining jars.
• Place jars in to the hot water bath, making sure that the water covers the jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes to process (at sea level), and an additional minute per 1,000 ft above sea level (I live at 5280, so I boiled for a extra five minutes). Remove the jars to a folded towel and leave undisturbed for 12 hours. After an hour, check to see if the jars have sealed by pressing down on the middle of the jar lid. If it can be pressed down, it hasn't sealed and should be refrigerated immediately. Store the jars in a dark area.

GREEN TOMATO (OR TOMATILLO) SALSA

Steps:

• Caution: Wear plastic or rubber gloves and do not touch your face while handling or cutting hot peppers. If you do not wear gloves, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your face or eyes.
• Preparing Tomatillos: Remove the dry outer husks from tomatillos; wash thoroughly. They do not need to be peeled or seeded.
• Preparing Peppers: The skin of long green chiles may be tough and can be removed by heating the peppers. Usually when peppers are finely chopped, they do not need to be skinned. If you choose to peel chiles, slit each pepper along the side to allow steam to escape. Peel using one of these two methods:.
• Oven or broiler method to blister skins - Place chiles in a hot oven (400°F) or broiler for 6 to 8 minutes until skins blister.
• Range-top method to blister skins - Cover hot burner (either gas or electric) with heavy wire mesh. Place peppers on burner for several minutes until skins blister.
• To peel, after blistering skins, place peppers in a pan and cover with a damp cloth. (This will make peeling the peppers easier.) Cool several minutes; slip off skins. Discard seeds and chop.
• The peppers do not need to be peeled, but seeds are often removed.
• Hot Pack: Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and stir frequently over high heat until mixture begins to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2O minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Ladle hot into clean, hot pint jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened, clean paper towel; apply two-piece metal canning lids.
• Process pints for 15 minutes in a BWB.
• Note: You may use green tomatoes in this recipe or tomatillos.
• Important: The only other change you can safely make in this salsa recipe is to change the amount of spices and herbs. Do not alter the proportions of vegetables to acid and tomatoes because it might make the salsa unsafe. Do not substitute vinegar for the lemon juice.
