Salsa from the garden

[packerbacker]

These are salsa before, during and after pics. Actually got 9 pints but my nephew talked me out of a jar before the pics were taken.

Packer,

That looks like great salsa....making me hungry.

A friend of mine gave me a jar of pickled habaneros and Jamaican Reds that were far too hot to eat. Well, I put them in a juicer and added all the Pablano, Sweet Banana, and Cherry Hot peppers I had on the plants, mixed 3 parts vinegar to the juice, added salt and simmered for 2 hours. Voila! Useable hot pepper sauce!

ty nick and wes. This stuff is the third batch. The first batch was way too mild but these second two batches came out just right. Not too hot and not too mild. Salsa is supposed to have a little bite or you might as well eat a tomato. The first two batches have already been consumed. Funny how fast it disappears.

Your's appears to be worthy of adding labels and selling it!

BTW...I have stopped using salt except in cooking and rely on Louisiana Hot Sauce or my home-brewed stuff to spice up things.

Delicious ! It does look worthy of label! No even better!

Thanks for the kind replies. No aa, this isn't HOT , it's right at my taste level which is, I can taste some of the hot but, I can still taste the onions, sweet peppers, cilantro and tomatoes along with it. I don't like it when the HOT takes over the salsa but, I don't care for it being too mild. I guess it's just a personal preference thing. I wish you could all take a taste test but...............

dont like it hot myself to old for that. Have you ever heard of Fresno chilies ?

 

[packerbacker]

Yes I have heard of them aa. If you look at the heat rating on these peppers, you'll see how they rate compared to other peppers as far as their heat rating. We use a mix of jalapenos (2000-5000 heat rating ) and Anaheim peppers (500-1000). Makes for a "comfortable" heat level for me. Your Fresnos rate 5,000-10,000, just a tad hotter. Then there are peppers that rate 400,000+!!! I wouldn't be in the same room with them.

bought a jar of Fresno's and made a bet with a dude from Texas. I bet him $20 he could not eat 2 of them. He was bragging he was from Texas and no chili in CA. was hotter than Mexican chilies.Well he ate 2 of them took off and we didnt see him for 3 days. You know i never got my $20

Packer, did you post your recipe?

Will you?

I'd be interested in seeing it.

Thanks,
rmptr


Yah... some of those habs, and asian peppers just won't fit on a scale... they are hotter than the sun!

 

[packerbacker]

I hadn't posted the recipe until you requested it rmptr. I put it in the "My Favorites" forum under "Recipe" with the title "Homemade semi-hot SALSA." I hope you can get something out of it.

My next door neighbor enters her salsa in the state fair every year and has won twice. She runs over and give me a taste to get my advice. I get a great big jar for being her guinea pig. Monty

 

[Mental Granny]

What a job Monty but, I guess someones gotta do it!

 

[packerbacker]

Dang Monty, glad to see you're working!
