Quick Salsa
March 10, 2014
I love canning, and salsa is one of my favorite things to can. Only problem is, canning takes about a full days worth of work. You blanch, chop, boil, adjust and then you have to actaully can it all properly. I do love it but sometimes I just want the salsa, not the process, so this is a sure fire way to get your salsa fix on in no time! All you need is a food processor ( have you noticed I’m using it an awful lot lately?) Adjust the heat yourself by picking hotter peppers and or adding more. This is a basic quick recipe so you can easily change it up. Add more onions, choose a mild or hotter pepper, you name it. Taste first, adjust after.
4 cups chopped chopped tomatoes – Roma is best or Salsa
1 small red onion, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 serano chile
1 jalepeno chile
juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
pinch of sugar
fresh cilantro, to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy!

That looks so good. I can eat salsa but I have to watch out for sugar, so I will just add some stevia to this when I make it. Hopefully I have a lot of tomatoes this summer.

I don't can it but I use a very similar recipe for salsa. Fresh salsa is just so flavorful and delicious and healthy. I sometimes eat it by itself – no chips needed! I've used it to top baked chicken and more. I just don't have the time to can it so when I need it, I have to make it fresh.

Okay, your recipe sounds a lot better than mine does. I will have to hunt down a sera no pepper – I sometimes think I live on salsa alone. I love that your blog was nominated as Top Food Blog, if anyone deserves it, you do. I will head over and vote for you now.

We can tomatoes every year but I can't bring myself to can salsa. I'm just not confident that I'll be happy with the results.

I love salsa! I think it is so great to make it fresh! We just went to a delicious Mexican place last week and the owner said the secret to his salsa being so great is that it is made fresh daily. I have to agree!

My family loves salsa and eats it constantly. I love making it myself so that I know exactly what's in it.
