    Chips and Salsa addict right here! anyone with me on this?! ...

    Spicy Garden Salsa

     

    SO first of all I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend! my niece and nephew stopped by Halloween night and they were SO cute, my nephew was dressed as Optimus Prime and my niece was a cute lil fairy 😉

    on to the recipe...

    I know I have told you all before how much I LOVE salsa... this will be the last version of it until next summer because we have now used up everything from the garden and have about 5 jars canned to get us through the winter... HA yeah right, they won't last through the winter but atleast we have some saved right! 😉

    this version is a MILD-SPICY version with an extra option to bring out even a little more heat!  if your like ma man Nick you'll want that option but if your like me... skip the option.

    I don't know about you all but I'm the type of person who likes to have tastes buds left to actually taste my salsa 😉  I guess some people have stronger taste buds than others ?!

    anyways... this recipe is super simple it's mostly food processing, straining and the stirring!  I mean you can't get much easier than that!

    plus it's going to taste wayyy better than what you buy at the store pre-done, I promise!

    I like to eat it with chips but I also LOVE to put it on wraps with vegan cheese and rice OR I will also mix it in with pasta!  pretty much I'll put salsa on anything... except desserts because that would just be weird... 😉

    alright go try this recipe and let me know what ya'll think of it!

    Hope everyone enjoys this addictive snacking spicy salsa!

    Spicy Garden Salsa

    • Author: Nick/Michele
    • Prep Time: 30 mins
    • Cook Time: 60 mins
    • Total Time: 1 hour 30 mins
    • Category: Salsa

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 5 cups of cherry or grape tomatoes or mixture of both
    • 2 onions (I used white)
    • 6-7 cloves of garlic
    • juice of 2 limes
    • 5 sweet yummy peppers (I used Orange)
    • 2 Anaheim peppers
    • 2 jalapeno peppers
    • 1 can of corn (including the water from the can)
    • 1 can of rinsed black beans
    • 4 TBSP sugar
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    1. in a food processor add your tomatoes and pulse until broken up but NOT pureed and then strain and rinse the liquid and seeds out ...add to Large pan
    2. finely chop the onions and the garlic and put them in a small bowl with the lime juice and leave marinating for about 15-20 minutes and then strain the juice out
    3. while that's marinating, roughly chop all the peppers and add to food processor and pulse until finely chopped but NOT pureed and add to the pan of tomatoes
    4. then add corn WITH the liquid from the can and the black beans rinsed
    5. add the strained onion and garlic to the pan
    6. add sugar and salt/pepper to taste
    7. let simmer frequently stirring for about 60 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed
    8. transfer to mason jars or other sealed glass jars
    9. ENJOY

    Notes

    Makes about 3 mason jars full!

    this recipe is already a mild spicy version but for a little extra heat you can roast the peppers first and then peal the skin off before adding to food processor!

      Ditto what Mir said, my husband can't get enough spice! He will love this. It seems like no matter what I make for dinner, he ends up eating chips and salsa anyhow to cap it off. We have a local product called Franks Red Hot Sauce that your husband might just need a bottle of. It's pretty famous around these parts. My hubby puts it on everything!!

        😉 we have a product that Nick likes called DaBomb and it's like the hottest thing ever... sometimes he'll add a couple drops into the salsa to kick it up even more... yeah a couple drops because it's insanely hot! and he's the same as your husband, chips and salsa after dinner 😉 lol ... thanks Laura!

      Great recipe! I occasionally make fresh salsa, but I've never made a huge batch and stored them in mason jars. Thank you for the idea! The spicier the better in my household, so the idea of having fresh salsa stored in the fridge is making me want to whip up a batch of your salsa pronto!!!

        yeah, you should totally make a huge batch, I store them in mason jars, they create a suction seal and stay fresh for a while! thanks Linda!

      Sounds like your niece and nephew were adorable, Michele! I love seeing all of the kids dressed up. And I saw quite a few fairies and princesses this year! 🙂 This salsa looks amazing! I could eat this just about any day of the week, so I definitely share your love of it. I love that you used corn and black beans in here, too! Sounds so flavorful! Pinned!

      This looks awesome Michelle! Do you can it so it lasts? Or does it just keep for a while in the fridge? I've been meaning to make salsa for a while, but wasn't sure if tomatoes were okay to water bath can, I've seen mixed reviews on that, and I will admit, I'm a tad scared of pressure canning! And also, I don't want to buy a pressure canner! 🙂

        hey Stacey! I don't have a pressure canner either, Nick's parents do and they love it but we actually just use mason jars and they suction seal themselves and we usually will leave them in the fridge up to 3 weeks not opened after they seal themselves... (they seal a really tight seal that sometimes I can't even open) but once we open it we try to finish it within 1 week... if we won't finish the batch within 3 weeks we usually freeze the jars and then take 1 can out at a time and it will un-thaw in the fridge within a day... I haven't frozen them more than 2 months before though ... they might be good longer I just haven't had it last longer than that with out eating it 😉

      Ummm... yes please!! There was a time in my life where I only ate tostitos salsa because I didn't know any better --- I can tell this recipe is a million times better, just by looking at it! Will definitely have to give it a try!
