LEAH'S EASY FOOD PROCESSOR SALSA

Steps:

• Put garlic cloves and jalapeño pieces in food processor (a blender can be used but will put a lot of air into the salsa and will not be able to be served immediately), pulse a few time until coarsely chopped.
• Place roma tomatoes in a microwaveable dish and microwave for 1 minute or so on high, then remove skins.
• Add diced tomatoes, lime juice, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes to food processor, pulse 3 or 4 times until everything looks well mixed.
• Add onion, roma tomatoes, and cilantro, and pulse just a few times until onion is at desire consistency. Adding onions at the end is VERY important, otherwise they will become pureed and make a gross texture for the salsa.
• If you want to remove the remaining metallic taste of the fresh tomato, cook over medium low heat in a non-reactive pot for about 15-20 minutes.
• For best flavor, refrigerate over night to let flavors mingle.

FRESH HOMEMADE SALSA FOR CANNING

Steps:

• Wash all jars, lids etc in the dishwasher.
• Always wear gloves while preparing salsa!
• Prepare tomatoes by soaking tomatoes in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to split and loosen skins. Peel and chop all tomatoes, drain excess juices off in a strainer or colander before adding to extra large bowl. (I half or quarter the tomatoes, then process briefly in a food processor before draining off juices, I like the tomatoes kind of chunky).
• Dice or cube all onions and peppers into the same bowl. Add chopped cilantro. (I do all the onions, peppers and cilantro in a food processor - I keep them kind of chunky also).
• Once all the vegies are in the bowl, stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Taste to see if it is as hot as you would like it - if not add 1-2 more hot peppers tasting after each addition. Keep in mind as it sits for a while it will get a little bit hotter.
• Bring all ingredients to a boil in large pot & simmer for 15 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking.
• Fill jars leaving about 3/4 inch at the top. Wipe off tops of the jars before putting lids on. Screw lids tight then turn back about 1/4 turn.
• Process in steam canner (not pressure cooker / steamer) or boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
• Cool jars.
• Before storing, test each jar to be sure it has sealed by pressing down on lid, it should not move.
