When you have too many tomatoes on hand, one great way to use them up is by making this Freezer Salsa Recipe. You can make a big batch to enjoy later in the year with tortilla chips and Guacamole!
Salsa is a staple in our house, and it's one of Mr. Juggling Act go-to snacks. With an abundance of tomatoes this year from our garden, we decided to throw together a big batch of freezer salsa. The great thing about making your own salsa - just like making your own spice mixes - is being able to customize the flavor just right.
Neither one of us is a big fan of cilantro, we we opted not to use that, instead using a little coriander to season the salsa. I'm not big on super spicy food, and with just a couple of jalapenos and my mild Taco Seasoning mix, this salsa is pretty harmless.
If you like it hot, you can add a bit of cayenne pepper, or a couple of habanero peppers to up the ante.
- 2 green peppers
- 2 sweet onions
- 5-6lbs tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
- 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
- ¾ cup tomato paste
- 1 can condensed tomato soup
- ½ cup white vinegar
- juice from 1 lime
🔪Instructions
- Begin by preparing the tomatoes (This is the most time consuming part. You could skip this step by buying canned diced tomatoes, if you prefer.
- Prepare the onions and peppers - be sure to seed your peppers first. And finally, carefully seed the jalapeno peppers, dice, and wash your hands!
- In a large stockpot, combine all of the vegetables, seasonings, and liquids over medium high heat and bring to a boil.
- Give the mixture a quick stir and then reduce the heat. Simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring often.
- Carefully ladle the salsa into small freezer containers.
- Let the jars cool to room temperature - about 1 hour - before affixing the lids tightly and freezing.
