Fourth Annual Saucy Salsa Throwdown Winner

Winner! Sassy Salsa by Patty Burn

Sassy Salsa Recipe

Ingredients:

Between 5-6 lbs. tomatoes approximately 8 cups (I used Roma’s)

 

1 bunch green onions chopped

(I like to use some of the green for flavor and coloring)

 

1 small onion chopped

 

1 large bell pepper chopped

 

Finely chopped garlic cloves to your liking

 

1 jalapeña chopped and seeded if you don’t like it hot

 

3-4 T chopped cilantro

 

1 cup apple cider vinegar (5% acidity)

 

1 lime

 

Salt to your taste   

Dip tomatoes in boiling water for 30-60 seconds until the skins loosen.   Dip in cold water and slip off the skins.   Core and chop tomatoes in a 6-8 quart saucepan.   Combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring often.   If skim appears, I use a wooden handled spoon to take it out as it appears.  

Reduce heat and simmer at least 30 minutes or until it reaches your deisired thickness.  You can store this in a bowl in the refrigerator or put in jars and give them a hot water bath.
