Garbage Salsa Recipe 45

CANNED SALSA THAT TASTES LIKE FRESH SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare jars by sanitizing them in bleach water, or in a hot rinse cycle in the dishwasher.
• Wash vegetables.
• Chop Peppers and Onions with a food processor or blender. Dump in a very large mixing bowl.
• Add spices and vinegar to the mixing bowl.
• Add Lime Juice and chopped Cilantro (optional) to the mixing bowl.
• Core and chop Tomatoes with a food processor or blender. You can peel beforehand if you'd like, but I rarely peel my tomatoes for this salsa recipe.
• Strain the juice from the tomatoes before adding to the mixing bowl. I like to catch the tomato juice and can it to use in soups.
• Combine all ingredients. Taste with a torilla chip. Adjust the heat by adding more tomatoes (for milder taste) or more jalapenos (for a spicier taste).
• Fill jars with salsa. Wipe the rim clean, and top with a lid and ring.
• Process jars for 45 minutes. (adjust based on altitude)

GARBAGE (SALSA) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Combine the chopped chilies, chopped ripe olive, diced tomatoes, and diced onions. Once combined, add the olive oil, wine vinegar, garlic salt and Tabasco sauce. Chill and serve with chips. Enjoy

GARBAGE PLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
• Transfer the cooked beef to a blender and blend until the meat is finely minced. Bring the minced beef, water, vinegar, paprika, black pepper, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, allspice, cloves, cumin, thyme, and cinnamon to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; cook for at least 30 minutes, adding water as needed to keep the mixture moist and gravy-like.

TRADITIONAL SALSA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Serve with tortilla chips.

ROASTED TOMATO SALSA II

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• On a medium baking sheet, arrange tomatoes, garlic and onion. Place under the broiler. Checking frequently, heat 15 minutes, or until vegetables are charred. Remove from heat and allow to cool approximately 10 minutes.
• Place charred vegetables in a blender or food processor with the water and blend until smooth. Stir in ground black pepper, hot pepper sauce, salt and hot chile sauce. Refrigerate the mixture until serving.

TEXAS TRASH SALSA

Steps:

• Drain tomatoes well, reserving juice.
• Put peeled and quartered onion in a blender, then top with remaining ingredients.
• Pulse blender until ingredients are chopped as finely as you wish.
• By putting onion in the blender first, it will chop more finely than remaining ingredients.
• If salsa seems too thick, you can thin it by adding some of the reserved tomato juice.
• This can be eaten immediately, but tastes best if allowed to chill for 2 hours.

FRESH CLASSIC GRAPE SALSA

GATOR SALSA

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan filled 2/3 full with water to boil. Blanch tomatoes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Peel and chop.
• Place tomatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer.
• In a separate large saucepan, bring approximately 2 quarts lightly salted water to boil. Place green bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, habanero chile peppers, green chile peppers, onions and garlic in the boiling water. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Drain vegetables and stir into saucepan with tomatoes. Mix in white sugar, ground black pepper and chopped fresh cilantro. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in more water if necessary to attain desired consistency.
• Transfer the finished salsa to sterile containers, and store in the refrigerator until serving.

BIG BATCH SALSA (FOR CANNING)

Steps:

• Fill roaster with tomatoes, crushing with hands or with an emersion blender as you add them to the pan.
• Add onions, jalapenos, garlic, vinegar, sugar, salt, and tomato paste. (Note: Sometimes I need to let the tomatoes cook down before adding the sugar, vinegar, and tomato paste so that it will fit in the roaster.
• Simmer 2 to 5 hours to desired thickness. Stir occasionally, scraping sides of roaster so that it does not burn. Adjust salt, sugar, and peppers to taste. You can add tomato juice if it becomes too thick.
• Ladle hot salsa into jars, leaving ¼-inch head space.
• Clean rim with damp cloth. Adjust two-piece caps.
• Place jars in a hot water bath. Process 15 minutes (pints) or 20 minutes (quarts), after water comes to a boil.
• Remove jars from hot water bath. After 12 hours, check seal, remove bands, and label.
