Homemade Salsa...
"I got this from my friend Staci whose grandmother is Hispanic. Staci made it for us one day and I've been hooked on it since. Just a tip... Unless you can eat about a half gallon of salsa, I suggest you grab a few extra containers to share with your friends and family.PLEASE NOTE that because this is homemade salsa (no added preservatives), it only keeps in the refrigerator for 2 weeks tops!"

We are salsa lovers...but I still cut the recipe in half...this has a nice bite to it...but not so overwhelming that most people can't handle it...I made as posted but choose to use the spicy hot v8 juice...this worked great with my taco salad this evening...DH liked it on this taco's and planed to use it with his chips and sour cream...thanks for posting...Made for Fall PAC 2011 -
Although you say it sounds good I am wondering about the directions for canning it. If it makes so much why not can it and always have it on hand rather then just keep it all in the fridge. What would the canning directions be?
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am 27 years old and a 6 year US Navy Veteran. Through my travels with the Navy I have grown to LOVE all kinds of ethnic foods. Being that it is so hard to find authentic ethnic foods in restaurants, (with the help of Recipe Zaar) I have learned to cook many of my favorites at home: Traditional Philipino Pork Adobo, Argentinean Empanadas, No-Imu Kalua Pig, and many more! Now on any day I can choose to escape to any far away land that I choose (At least at dinnertime.).
I am currently in school graduating in February 2010 as Tennessee State Board Certified Esthetician, I am also working on an associates degree in business management and plan on opening my own day spa.
