Make Your Own Flavorful Salsa at Home - Its Easy! |
|
There are salsa recipes which get passed on from generation to generation. Each successive generation keeps and preserves their own family 'treasure', and enjoy the flavors their ancestors had many years ago! It's very easy to drive to your favorite grocery store and pick up a jar of salsa off the shelf, but making it in your own kitchen can be quite rewarding! If you have had a productive garden this year, your stock of fresh peppers and tomatoes would be perfect for your home made salsa. Once you do this, you may find that making salsa and stocking up your pantry each year will be a regular goal of yours! You only need a basic supply to make salsa, a simple recipe and the process of making the salsa. Typical salsa ingredients contain more or less of the following: green pepper, Jalapeno, tomatoes, red chili pepper, garlic salt or powder, onion, cilantro, lemon juice. Don't be afraid to experiment! As you can see, homemade salsa is full of vitamins and antioxidants that are known to keep your body stay healthy! Be sure to tweak the ingredients to your taste - Adding more jalapenos and other peppers will make your salsa hotter and spicier salsa. Alternatively, for a milder salsa, add more tomatoes and reduce the number. It is important to realize that the full strength and flavor of spices will deteriorate with time. Therefore make sure to use fresh spices. Also, always use fresh oils as well. Like spices, oils will lose their flavor over time and if kept too long can even go rancid. To avoid chili pepper irritation wear rubber gloves or even small plastic bags over your hands. Don't touch your face or rub your eyes while handling hot peppers. You will need all the supplies that you typically need when you are preserving tomatoes. You will need canning jars, lids and bands, a hot water bath canner, a large pot to cook the salsa, strainer, jar lifter, large bowl, and the ingredients from your recipe. Thoroughly wash all the utensils you will be using and boil the jars and bands. Leave the jars and the lids in the hot water up until the time you are ready to use them. A freezer is also a good place to store your salsa. After making a large batch simply divide it into smaller containers and put them in your freezer. Imagine being able to enjoy your fresh and tasty salsa year round!
