Garden Fresh Salsa

Mmmm! Nothing like fresh, straight from your very own garden, salsa! (Okay, so I DID have to buy 2 limes and some cilantro, but other than that, it's my very own home-grown goodness!)

The great thing about doing your own salsa is, there is no wrong way to do it. It's pretty much just adding a little of this, a little of that. So, if you don't like the measurements provided, do it your own way. It's your salsa after all. We loved it this way. Not too spicy, but enough of a kick which is perfect for me. Hope you enjoy!!


(15) medium tomatoes
(2) jalapeno peppers, seeds removed
juice from 2 limes
(1) yellow pepper (or green)
(1) green chili
(2) sweet onions (white)
2-3 Tbsp. Cilantro
2 tsp. minced garlic
Salt and Pepper, to taste (We had to add LOTS of salt. Start with approx. 1 tbsp and go from there)



After you're done with all your choppin', throw it all in a big bowl and give it a taste test.
Again, this is all approximate. So do it your own way and you can't go wrong. My husband likes his salsa chunky, so we just chopped his batch. I like mine more pureed, so after we were done choppin' we throw it into a blender. Both ways work great!

This amount of salsa will give you approximately 5 medium sized Kerr jars full. (refer to picture above)
