Recipes for Green Chile Salsa, and Corn and Zucchini Salsa are given below.

Before 1492, tomatoes were grown and eaten only in the Americas.

The rest of the world had no idea what they were missing!

Fast forward over 500 years, salsa is the ideal way to keep a supply of the spicy sauce on hand to eat with tortilla chips and other Mexican dishes.

Salsa is made of finely chopped vegetables including tomatoes, chilies, and onions.

Other than chili powder and paprika, cooks in most parts of North America for many years had little interest in cooking with hot seasonings or in salsa.

In more recent times, the use of capsicums has become much more widespread.

Now days, salsa which combines tomatoes with fresh hot peppers has become nearly as popular as ketchup.

Green Chile Salsa

This recipe for salsa yields 8 pints.

Ingredients:

18 green chile peppers, you may substitute green bell peppers and 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped

10 cups (about 4 pounds tomatoes) chopped, with juice

2 cups chopped onions

1 ½ cup chopped cilantro

1 cup water

6 minced cloves

2 teaspoons salt

Instructions:

  • Place the chilies on a greased cookie sheet. Broil about 15 minutes, until the skins blister.

  • Discard the membranes and seeds from the chilies. When canning salsa, wear gloves to prevent pepper oils from burning your skin.

  • Chop the chilies and combine with the tomatoes in a heavy saucepan.

  • Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the onions, lime juice, cilantro, water, and garlic.

  • Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir mixture occasionally.

  • Add salt. Stir well.

  • Spoon green chile salsa into hot, clean jars. Place the lids on jars and seal.

  • Process in a boiling water bath canner for 30 minutes. When canning salsa, adjust for altitude, if necessary.

    Another great recipe for canning salsa which also helps finds a tasty use for an abundance of zucchini!

    Serve this flavorful salsa with corn chips or on top of grilled chicken breasts.

    Canning Salsa: Yield: 2 pints

    Ingredients:

    3 medium zucchini, cleaned, trimmed, and diced

    1 ½ teaspoons salt

    2 ears yellow corn, husked, silks removed

    4 tablespoons olive oil

    2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped

    1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (8 medium limes)

    ½ cup cider vinegar

    2 jalapeno chilies, seeded and minced (wear protective gloves)

    ¼ cup chopped scallions with tops

    3 cloves minced garlic

    ¼ teaspoon black pepper

    canning salsa

    Instructions:

  • Toss the zucchini in a colander with the salt. Let sit for 3 minutes. Rinse and dry on paper towels.

  • Coat the corn with 2 teaspoons of the oil. Roast on a cookie sheet in a 400 degrees oven for 40 minutes. Cool. Cut off kernels and scrape the cobs.

  • In a heavy saucepan, mix together the corn, zucchini, tomatoes, scallions, jalapenos, remaining oil, vinegar, lime juice, garlic, and black pepper.

  • Bring mixture to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes.

  • Spoon corn and zucchini salsa into hot, clean canning jars. Put the lids on and seal.

  • Process in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes.

  • If required, adjust for altitude when canning salsa.
  • Handling Chile Peppers

    The same oils that give chile peppers their heat and spice can cause skin irritation and burning.

    When preparing chilies for canning salsa, wear rubber gloves, especially when handling fiery peppers such as jalapenos and habaneras.

    Remember to keep your hands away from your eyes, nose, and mouth when cooking with hot peppers!
