. Absolutely love this!!!!! I used San marzano tomatoes. I think I could eat it all right now.. a definite winner!!!!!!!
Haha! I’m the same way. Thanks for the great compliment.
Just made this with my 8 year old. We used fresh tomatoes, jalapeños and onion from our garden. Can this be canned in a water bath? If so, how long should we can it?
Your fresh ingredient substitutions sound amazing! There is nothing like fresh from the garden salsa. Yum!
Unfortunately, salsa is one of those things that the food safety industry gets really strict about when canning. I’m not sure how this will impact the flavor, but you’ll want to cook the salsa for canning. You’ll have first bring your salsa to a boil, reduce and simmer for a few more minutes. Then, you can place the filled jars into a rolling boil water bath (water covering the cans and lids by one inch) for about 15 minutes. Let them sit for a minute, and then take them out. Let them sit at room temperature for a total of 24 hours. Check your seal to be sure that the lids did in fact seal properly.
PS- it is delicious by the way!!!
So good!
Do you know if you can can this and if so does anything need to be added?
I would not recommend canning this recipe. You would have to add canning salt, and the ingredients would need to boil so the can can seal properly. Even then, I’m not sure what kind of shelf life it would have and still be safe to eat. However, you can freeze this salsa for a couple of months. Place in a freezer safe bag to freeze. When you are ready, let it thaw and enjoy.
