OK I didn't know what else to call it. But it is based off a recipe I found online and added my goods to it. Sure its not the hottest thing but the burn you do get is very slow and nice. Not to mention the flavor is wonderful.
Ingredients for Best Recipe
*6 large seeded chopped peeled tomatoes
*2 cups seeded chopped green peppers
*3/4 cup chopped onion
*1 1/2 teaspoon salt (I used pickling salt since I was canning)
*2 cloves minced garlic
*1 1/2 cups cider or wine vinegar (might try lime juice sometime)
*2 large Jalapenos (chopped)
*2 Cayenne (chopped)
*2 Black Pearls (for heat)
*3 Sticks of chopped celery
* Pepper (to taste)
Directions for Crazy (but nice) Salsa Recipe
1.Combine all ingredients in a large pot.
2.Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
3.Pour into hot jars leaving 1/4 teaspoon head space an adjust the caps
4.Process for 30 minutes in boiling water bath.
5.Yields: 8-9 half pints or make fresh and store in refrigerator.
I was very fortunate to have all ingredients home grown except for the celery, Tomatoes, and 1 Green Bell, oh and the Garlic. Those we did have all the items at one time but have used them up. Anyway i was looking to make a salsa that was both good and didnt burn you face clean off.
I am very weird when it comes to vegetables. I cut up everything in pretty small pieces and its nice to have salsa that way anyway because then you don't have a scoop chip with a huge chunk of tomato and nothing else. The heat is slow and is very friendly but does seem like it might have some staying power to it.
I only sampled a very small portion of it and was VERY impressed especially since my cooking doesn't go much past "OK where are the Microwave instructions?". But today I have a pints worth that I will be sharing for the big Viking vs. Packers game. Well hope you all like.
Now that I got a nice recipe perhaps I can in some way improve on it. man I cant imagine how though...lol
