Homemade Salsa Recipes, Homemade salsa in a bowl.The directions for this recipe are for a smooth blender salsa, but if you prefer chunky then reserve some or all of the diced tomatoes, but use the juice when blending the other ingredients. Or perhaps you'll choose not to use a blender for any of the ingredients at all ;-)

  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice
  • 2 Tbsp. canned diced green chiles

To make this recipe even easier you can use canned diced jalapenos to taste. However freshly roasting them brings out a smoky, almost sweet flavor.

My family loves salsa, and homemade is so much better and cheaper than store bought. This recipe makes about 4 cups of salsa. Serve with chips or with your favorite Mexican dish.

To roast tomatoes, place tomatoes on broiler pan, and broil 4 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Turn, and roast 5 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes. Peel away charred skin; halve and core tomatoes.

SalsaPut the stewed and whole tomatoes in the blender on liquefy, until you have the thickness that you want. Add all of the other ingredients and push chop on the blender 2-3 times, depending on how chunky you want your salsa.

This salsa has a very fresh flavor. You can use canned, from the store tomatoes or fresh, which in my opinion, is always best!

I like to eat it fresh, but it needs a day or two days for the flavors to blend. This can also be hot packed for canning.

Using a blender or food processor, put 1 each of all vegetables and pulse, until it is still chunky. Drain, reserving the liquid. Repeat until it is all done.

Mix drained salsa, adding sugar and salt, and at this point, add some of the drained liquid to make it to suit your taste.

I just found this great and easy salsa recipe on the internet. I had tomatoes that had to be used up.

Fresh Tomato Salsa

1 medium tomato, chopped fine
1/4 red onion, chopped fine
1 small jalapeno pepper , chopped fine
2T. balsamic vinegar
8-10 fresh Basil leaves
1 T. olive oil

Combine ingredients and chill for at least an hour before serving. Instead of chopping all the ingredients, I place them in my food processor and pulse for only a few seconds. Careful not to overprocess. If you do not want it to be too spicy hot, remove part of the seeds from the jalapeno pepper.

Can anyone tell me how to "can" a thicker salsa?
I have done some canning recently and tried doing salsa but it seems to always be watery. I do not add any water to the recipe I have. Just the tomatoes, peppers, onions, spices and lemon juice or Vinegar.
If any one has a website to refer me to that would be great!!

Thanks

Michelle,
Try adding a little cornstarch to your salsa before you can it. The amount will depend on how much you are making.

Start with one tablespoon and see how it "looks".. add more if needed.

to get the water out of your salsa I use a half cup of pickling salt to two gallons of cut up skinned tomatoes soak over nite in refridge then drain off water.

This is my favorite salsa recipe - it's delightfully sweet while you're eating it, but once swallowed you'll notice a nice zing from the peppers. It's not your normal salsa/picante sauce :-)

1 gal tomatoes
2 cups onion
2 cups bell pepper
1 cup hot peppers (jalepeno or habenero)
1 quart vinegar
2 cups sugar
1 Tblsp cinnamon
1 Tblsp nutmeg
1 Tblsp salt

Dice onion & all peppers (use rubber gloves for hot peppers!!). Peel & cut tomatoes up. Mix all ingredients, boil until desired thickness. May use cornstarch to thicken if needed. Can as usual.

My family has been making this great canned homemade salsa for years. I think it's just like the ones they serve at restaurants. You should give it a try: www.thriftyfun.com/tf67536397.tip.html

There are different kinds of salsas restaurants serve (salsa cruda, salsa fresca, pico de gallo, salsa verde). Can you be more specific of what you're looking for?

 
September 24, 20120 found this helpful

The salsa I've always had at Mexican restaurants is a very fresh pico de gallo, which is extremely simple to make. Fresh tomatoes, a little chopped onion (I like to use sweet onion), a little or a lot of fresh cilantro, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Adjust amounts to taste. You can add jalapenos for heat.

Hello-
I'm a pepper or hot stuff wimp that does not even like table black pepper on anything.
Just use any normal recipe WITH JALAPENOS but remove all pepper seeds and white membrane from the peppers before you corse chop them to add to your other ingredients. Make sure you wear plastic gloves while handleing the peppers.
All the heat is contained within the seeds and membrane.
You will be left with the nice balanced flavor only.
Enjoy!
