July is #tomatolove month!! I am hosting this month! In the past I participated in #icecreamlove, #pastalove, #berrylove, #greenslove, #chocolatelove.
I love making salsa. It is normally really easy and so delicious!! This recipe is no exception. I have also been trying can. And salsa is such an easy thing to make that I can focus on the canning. But I can’t imagine how much I would have to can to keep me in salsa for the whole year! Wow, I am so impressed by anyone who actually cans everything they need of any staple food item.
I also was able to use my new canning book, Put ‘Em Up! by Sherri Brooks Vinton. I love this book. It is organized by type of food and it has a ton of different type of preserving techniques in it. I can’t wait to share more recipes with you as I learn how to use them all!!
Super Easy Salsa
This recipe is adapted from Put ‘Em Up! by Sherri Brooks Vinton
Ingredients:
- 1 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 pounds tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. Bring the vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a large nonreactive saucepan. Add the tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos, and return to a boil for 5 minutes. Add the cilantro and remove from heat.
2. Use the boiling water method to can. Ladle the salsa into clean, hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Release trapped air. Wipe the rims clean; center lids on the jars and screw on jar bands. Process for 15 minutes. Turn off heat, remove canner lid, and let jars rest in the water for 5 minutes. Remove jars and set aside for 24 hours. Check seals, then store in a cool dark place for up to 1 year.

I have yet to really do a lot of canning but this seems like a great recipe to start with – happy #tomatolove 🙂
What a super-easy salsa indeed, and looks so delish! Thanks for sharing the tomato-love with us !
YES. I want to try this, so badly. And the canning. I have a bookmark folder titled “For When I Grow Up” (…), and in it I have a bunch of canning webpages and books. Want to try it out, but I need the apartment space first!
How spicy did it turn out? I’m sort of on a mango binge, and I was thinking of making a mango salsa.
We should totally can some time!!! It was not that spicy. My whole family liked it and they are not fans of spicy food. I would have upped if I was making it just for me. And mango salsa sounds great!!
Love homemade salsa so much better than the store bought stuff. Great recipe thanks 🙂
Yum, I LOVE salsa! I’ll definitely have to try and make/can some of my own.
i love making pico de gallo! i’ve never made my own salsa where i’ve stewed on the stove before. will ahve to try this 🙂
