Freezer salsa. Adapted from some recipe I found on the internet.
- 20 lbs tomatoes
- 2 cups fresh cilantro
- 2 large onions
- 10 garlic cloves
- 10-20 hot peppers I used an assortment of peppers from my garden and the CSA. Roasting them changes the flavor and lowers the heat a bit. I roast some and leave some raw.
- 2 cups chopped green peppers
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 1/4 cup sea salt
- 1/4 cup vinegar - I don't think I used that much.
- 6 large limes, juice of
- A few sprigs of mexican oregano, if you have it. Not a big deal if you don't.
Directions
Blanch tomatos in a large pot of boiling water for about a minute. This makes it easy to peel them. I have an immersion blender that I use to break them up after that, but you could chop in a food processor or mash them by hand.
Chop cilantro ,onion ,garlic and add to tomatoes.
- Chop hot peppers with seeds and put in to 10 quart stock pot.
- Add cumin, salt and vinegar and stir all together.
- Bring to a boil and lower temperature to keep at a low boil for 2-3 hours.
- Boil down to about half to get rid of all the extra tomato water.
- I use whatever jars I have on hand with matching lids.
- Fill and leave 1/2 inch head space let cool to avoid condensation and ice on top of salsa.
- Place lids on and freeze.
