    Barb Gertz's Note:

    I was looking for a tomatillo salsa recipe for canning & couldn't find one that suited our Taste so, I came up this this one. Everyone that has tried it likes it. We have a lot of tomatillos in the garden, so I wanted a way to use them.

      Also, have good ventilation when cooking--I have found this to be true when cooking ALL salsa.

      I use a food processor for chopping.

      If you want it hotter use more jalapeños & you can use more or less cumin, as cumin makes it hot, BUT gives a good flavor.

      we loved this recipe and we grilled the tomatillos until the skins were charred before chopping them. this addes to the sweetness and also gave a slightly smoky flavor. its really very very sweet. we also added an extra teaspoon of cumin.

      Green salsa is one of my favorites and this did not disappoint. I about melted when I tasted it. I did have to make a couple of substitutions per availability in my area: I used green tomatoes instead of tomatillos, and I used hot pepperoncinis instead of jalapenos. This was just delicious with just the right amount of heat, and the cilantro is the real star in here (ok fresh tomatoes from the farm are pretty spectacular too)!

      The freezers are so full that we have to can up the harvest and this recipe was awesome. I have been making fresh tomatillo salsa only so far and was using lime juice so I was unsure about the lemon but it was fab!!!!! My DH did not deseed the jalapenos and we shouldn't have to worry about sinus and sore throats this season.
