Day 525 - Salsa, Anyone?
Greetings, Monday morning Blah-ghers!
We have a plethora of tomatoes from the garden at the moment.
I'll bet the tomatoes in MAINE haven't even started ripening yet.
I made homemade salsa yesterday for the very first time, and it is unbelievably good.
Anyway, I made a gallon or so of salsa - completely filling my stew pot below.
Ingredients: Fresh garden tomatoes, vidalia onions, and one package of 'Mrs. Wages' salsa seasoning.
It's a bit of work to make homemade salsa - more than I thought it would be.
When you make homemade spaghetti sauce or stewed tomatoes, there's no real chopping involved.
It's also a pain to remove the skins from the tomatoes - you have to steep them for a few minutes in hot water to slip the skins off.
However, the result is AWESOME and I might make another batch. It's that good.
Have a nice Monday and TTFN!
