In the town I live in we had a little company 15 miles from us that made the best salsa I have ever had. They closed thier doors on me out of the blue. I took the ingredients label and worked this recipe up from it. Read more . It s as close as I could get it. Actually this is a recreation of my frist recipe as it was one of the recipes that I lost. I hope you enjoy it. Ingredients:
6 pints (12 cups or 3/4 gallon) diced tomatoes, fresh or can, fresh is best |
4 large bell peppers, diced, green and yellow add nice color to the salsa |
2 large onions, diced, yellow have the strongest flavor |
jalapeno's, diced, as many as you like |
green chile peppers, to taste |
4 cloves garlic, mashed -or-1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon white pepper, powder |
1 tablespoon red pepper, crushed |
1/4 cup brown sugar, or raw sugar cane |
1/4 cup vinegar |
1 tablespoon cumin |
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in large pot - bring to a rolling boil - turn down heat - Cook 20 minutes.
2. Pour into a sterile glass gallon jar.
3. Put into the fridge and serve at will.
4. This lasts us about 2 weeks.
5. I guess that you could put this in pint jars and can them if you like.
6. You will find that I did not include cilantro in this recipe. I am allergic to it. It tastes and smells like ivory soap to me and then I bloat out and have to go to the hosptial. You may want to use a tablespoon or more of fresh chopped cilantro in your recipe.

8. Leaving everything raw will result in a salsa with a bright, refreshing taste. Raw salsa is also known as salsa cruda.
9. Roasting the tomatoes, garlic and/or chiles first will lend a rich, smoky flavor to your finished dish.
10. If you cook the salsa, you'll trade in the fresh taste for a deeper, sweeter one.
11. -My NOTE-
12. I use the liquid, if I use 6 cans of diced tomatoes - I use the liquid in the cans. If I use fresh tomatoes, I save the juice off of them. I prefer a thin sauced chunky salsa. It is for this reason I do not use a food processer or tomato sauce in the recipe. Its the way La Casa(??) made it before they closed thier door. And yes I know their is a brand out there called that, but it came out after this place closed up and it is not the same...
