Basic Salsa



Ingredients:
- 16 cup tomato (peeled diced into 1/2" chunks)
- 4 cup bell peppers (diced )
- 4 cup onion (diced red )
- 12 jalapeno ( diced fine)
- 12 jalapeno (serranos; diced fine, (our were pretty mild this year, but the serranos have good heat))
- 8 garlic (cl minced)
- 4 ounce juice (lime we use bottled)
- (Chopped fresh cilantro)
- (Kosher salt & fresh pepper)
- (Powdered celery leaves)
Directions:
If the taste of cilantro isn't for you, we have used Italian parsley when cilantro wasn't available. Different flavor, but still good. I include a few orange, white and yellow tomatoes for both color and because they seem to thicken the salsa a bit. After chopping, add some kosher salt, mix, then drain off the liquid and slowly simmer it to about 1/3 of its original volume, stirring often and watching carefully (I've burned it a couple of times). Add the cooked down juice back to the tomatoes. Mix it all together, adjust quantities and the spices. If more heat is needed, I add hab sauce. Let it mellow and merge for a day or two in the fridge. I have trouble waiting that long... If we can it, we pressure can pints at ten pounds for 25 minutes. I've rambled on long enough, yes?
