Salsa That is Too Vinegary

RE: Salsa That is Too Vinegary Post by Princess Frogee (67) | (05/20/2005) Contact Instead of re-canning all of those jars, when you get ready to use each one, add a little sugar or lemon or lime juice to it. You can also add corn, black beans or kidney beans and onion to make a chunky salsa. You could also add a can of diced tomoatoes. RE: Salsa That is Too Vinegary Post By tina (Guest Post) (05/20/2005) add one fourth cup white sugar reboil the pint jar. the sugar should cut down on the vinegar.-plus you might add some hot peppers that is really good it is how i do mine tina RE: Salsa That is Too Vinegary Post by badwater (529) | (05/20/2005) Contact Could you not drain some of the juice out of it when getting ready to serve or cook with it and add a little sugar to it? I've used salsa to make spanish rice, veggie gumbo, in with hamburger helper, in enchiladas. Best of luck, I know how disappointed you must be to have gone to all that work & for it to have turned out that way. RE: Salsa That is Too Vinegary Post by Suzanne S. (200) | (05/19/2005) Contact Have you tried adding very small amounts of brown sugar to it? Go at 1/4 teaspoon at a time and taste. The sugar will cut down on the acidic taste of vinegar. RE: Salsa That is Too Vinegary Post By (Guest Post) (05/19/2005) Try baking with it. Add it to meatloaf, some kind of a mexican dish that calls for salsa. Mixed with other things, it should tone down the taste. I have added sugar to the mixture while still cooking to take the vinegar away, but I don't know about after it has been canned. Try a jar by mixing sugar and tomato sauce with it before you throw the whole batch out. (Or maybe can another batch without vinegar and mix two jars together to get the right taste before serving). RE: Salsa That is Too Vinegary Post by valleyrimgirl (466) | (05/19/2005) Contact Since canned salsa is good for 2 - 3 years, why not make salsa this year and mix one of each jar together when you want salsa in order to dilute last year's batch and make good use of it? I have also used salsa in pasta recipes...see if you could use some up that way. For example...salsa mixed with macaroni and melted cheese on top.
