Salsa
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1 QT
ingredients
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes with juice
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste
- 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder, to taste
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin, to taste
- 1⁄2 cup trappey jalapeno, drained (I use sliced, your favorite brand is fine)
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro (large stems removed) or 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (large stems removed)
- salt (depends on the chips I'm using) (optional)
directions
- Combined all ingredients in a sauce pan and simmer over Med/Med-Low heat approximately.
- 20 min or until onions are cooked.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- Pour into blender (use towel and hold down the lid) and pulse on chop or grind until desired consistency is reached.
- This sauce requires refrigeration unless you "can" it properly.
- I don't bother because it never lasts that long here.
- I have kept it in fridge up to 3 weeks without a problem.
- Enjoy!
- I also make this with fresh garlic and peppers, this is just more consistent for flavor and heat.

Fixed as written but when I saw my husband adding hot sauce to the dish I knew that wasn't a good sign. We both agree that the cooking took away the taste. I added fresh cilantro and onion and that really helped. I'm going to make again but by-pass the cooking and just but it all fresh into the blender. Made this again without cooking it and it was really good. Just threw it all into the blender. Did add some fresh garlic, a little lime juice and a splash of white vinegar.

Thanks for the great recipe, made it down in Mexico with fresh toms and garlic and peppers. It was yummy and we were well pleased to have it on hand with lots of our meals. Added more garlic and cilantro(fresh, at end) - but it was our first salsa and we were really happy with the results! Thanks for sharing.

My family and I love salsa and it can be terribly expensive to buy. Thanks for a cheap and tasty way of making lots of salsa. I made a few changes I put in 2/8 cilantro, 1tsp of all the powdered ingredients, replace the pepper with 1/2 tsp of crush peppers for my little boy and 1tsp of lemon juice and no salt because I used tortilla chips with lime. Thanks again. foodmama
