Here's my homemade salsa recipe It looks like alot but it will be gone very quickly. We also like to warm it up. Enjoy!!Teresa (Make it 1/2 batch at a time so your blender doesn't overflow.)Teresa's Salsa2 lg cans Del Monte tomatoes (do not drain or just drain 1)4 large fresh tomatoes or 12 Romas8 - 12 fresh jalapenos scorched in a saute pan I make them really black (cool slightly)1 purple onion cut into chunks (plus 1/2 of another that you chop & reserve)2-3 bunches of cilantro (save some back that you snip)2 T garlic salt2 T lemon pepperjuice of 3 limes depending on size4 T minced garlic from a jar (this is the only recipe I ever use this for)Pulse tomatoes, jalepenos (stems removed but leave seeds in for the heat) & onion in blender on ice crush speed. Add the garlic, spices and lime juice season with a little Lawry's seasoning salt if necessary.Quickly pulse in cilantro (you can add the stems too )Pour into large plastic container stir in snipped cilantro and remaining onion.Stir every 4-6 hoursBecause of the scorched jalapenos it might have a brownish tint but it is so yummy!!Refrigerate overnight.

The salsa recipe I use at shows when I do the salsa demo with the salad choppers is now the only salsa my family will eat. 2 tomatoes, 1 small bunch of fresh cilantro, 1 red onion chopped, 1 can of chile peppers, I lime, juiced, 1 garlic clove, minced, 1 T. cumin, 1 T. southwest seasoning, salt and pepper. Chop with salad choppers. YUMMMM

But mine is for a big batch to can or freeze - I just figured she was wanting a recipe for fresh?

I have the tupperware thing (I know: contraban!!) but I love it! I put 2 or 3 small tomatoes in it, 1/4 red onion, 2 cloves of garlic, some cilantro, SW seasoning, and fresh lime juice. Sometimes, I'll add a little fresh zucchini juliennes in there. You'd be amazed at the taste difference! Its really good. don't knock it till you've tried it!



Also, if you just have a lot of tomatoes sitting around and you don't want them to go to waste, you can always can them. Or stew them and freeze 'em for homemade marinara. YUM!

I received 4 ripe tomatoes and 4 not-yet ripe tomatoes from my MIL, I don't know what to do w/them!
That's why I thought of Salsa, yes I am looking for fresh tomato recipes.

I'd like to get chefbeckyD's too, can someone pass that along?

I love the idea of Marinara Sauce -recipe????

 

[Teresa Lynn]

oh, if you "ONLY" have that many I wouldn't waste them on salsa I'd serve BLT's

I halved yours successfully twice.

...I'm due to make another batch if my tomatoes ripen before the frost gets them!

Speaking of leftover tomatoes.. I have been "sun drying" them. I did two huge bags of cherry tomatoes in my oven. Olive oil on large sheet pan, wash and dry tomatoes and spread in a single layer. Roll them around so that the oil gets all over. Sprinkle with cracked pepper and sea/kosher salt and bake. I started the first batch at 400 for 15 min, then dropped the temp to 250/200 and just let them go until they dry. It took about 8 hours but they turned out so good.

Sounds good - did you leave them whole?
