Ta-Da
Jars of salsa ready for the winter; however, we may have already opened a jar.
This is a recipe that has been known as Brenda’s salsa by the hubby, but we have
found out that it is actually Teresa’s recipe. I got the recipe from Shawna so
you can see, the recipe is a family favorite. I am not sure how the original
recipe reads, but here is a 4th generation of the original recipe. It turned out pretty good no matter
how far off from the original recipe.
Teresa/Brenda/Shawna/Regina Salsa
4 quarts fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 large onions, chopped
1 cup jalapenos, chopped (seeds and membranes removed according to desired heat)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/8 cup sugar – I didn’t use that much
2 1/2 Tablespoon salt
1/4 cup finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup cornstarch mixed with a little water to make a paste
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons Mexican ground oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Combine vegetables and spices in a large pot. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and simmer for 45 minutes.
Ladle hot salsa into hot sterilized jars. Screw on new lids and turn upside down to seal.
Hey, anybody remember The Gossip Game? You would set in a circle and someone would start by whispering something in
the next person’s ear. That person would repeat what was whispered to him in the next person’s ear, and so on. You could not
ask the person to repeat what he whispered to you. It was always funny for the last person to say what was whispered to
him. It never, ever was the same as the original whisper. It was a good game to teach children how repeating something
can get misconstrued along the way…………so watch what you say!
I love you all.
Let’s have a salsa party.
