Dear Mari, I don't have a garden but I have a friend who does. I will pass on this recipe to her. Thank you so much for sharing. 😊
ReplyDeleteHi Mari, I am really impressed! I have never maid salsa because my husband always has. My family always ask that he makes it for our family gatherings. He likes to roast the chilis and green tomatillos instead of boiling them. The smell of roasting reminds me of my grandpa who would roast them too. So how lovely big does it last in the jars? My grandma had a root cellar she used to store her canned goods. Do you make home made tortilla chips?
ReplyDelete24 pints! My back hurts just thinking about it!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good amount of salsa. I made so much salsa for my freezer last year that I have enough leftover for the coming year, too.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried canning, but may one day. I am sure that your salsa is simply delicious. My mouth is watering just reading the recipe! Thanks for sharing, Mari. You are a great cook!
ReplyDeleteI like salsa but husband does not.
ReplyDeleteLots of hard work but so good later on.

I bet your kitchen really smelled good when you were making that! Wow!! That looks so good!! We probably couldn't eat that much salsa in a year, but then again, if it was homemade, we might! It has to be so much better than what we get at the store! Thanks for sharing the recipe!! If had that many tomatoes, I might try it!
ReplyDeleteYummy.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful recipe for salsa. TFS Janice
ReplyDeleteI love homemade salsa. You will be so glad you did this when Winter comes and you can enjoy the taste of summer.
ReplyDeleteSounds good, Mari. No garden here, though, and I just don't use salsa much. I used to make and can my own spaghetti sauce. Joe wouldn't eat sauce from the grocery. It's sure convenient to just grab a jar and open that delicious goodness!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you canned too! You do just about everything! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed. Never canned. Neither did my mom and that's why I never learned. Sometimes I wished I had learned. Its the difference between growing up in a city or country. Just never had a need to and none of my friends did either. Now around here, there are many who do but I'm not confident I wouldn't accidentally poison us! 😁
ReplyDeleteOh boy, now I am drooling. There is nothing like homemade Anything ! Salsa is always in our cupboard. We use it on just about everything ... Wish I was a canner and could use your recipe. YUM
ReplyDeleteSue
You've been busy :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely and the recipe sounds very healthy!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delish! I'm so intimated by the thought of canning. It's such a brilliant idea and way to use up bumper crops!!
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds delicious. I've never gotten into canning. My mom and grandmother never did either, maybe that's why I never did.
ReplyDeleteWe were such poor stewards of our garden this year, but I would LOVE homemade canned salsa! Yum!!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend Lorna who cans like crazy! A trait inherited from her late mom. She and her sister get together and can too. Plus Lorna saves feral kitties. She is a fearless cat lover and she cooks like crazy! We had such a terrible drought we lost our backyard so no gardening. A sad summer. I am grateful the cooler weather but not the darkness that falls on us so early. You're a busy gal with your grands and your kitchen project and your canning. Whewwwww......could I borrow a smidge of your energy? I posted at both of my blogs today. LOL I am here too https://annesphamily.blogspot.com Have a great evening too.
ReplyDeleteAs usual I stand in awe of your culinary prowess and your industriousness ... I am too lazy to work that hard but when I drop in for a visit, you're welcome to put some on the table with Hint-of-Lime corn chips, and I'll go straight to town, hahaa xoxo 🏴☠️
