The garden is doing pretty well producing tomatoes, especially given our late start on everything and slow developing summer. Not enough to make tomato sauce. Ken suggested salsa so I bought a bunch of peppers at the farmers market and figured out a recipe and well, I took a few photos along the way also.
Peppers at the market
Halved garden tomatoes ready to start the process
Juicy Walla Walla onions
Cooking the tomatoes
These are about ready to be put through the food mill
I roasted the peppers on the grill
There’s the pureed tomato sauce
And there it is quite a bit reduced. I like my salsa on the thick side
Chopped peppers, onions, garlic
Spices – cumin, red sea salt, chile powder, chipotle powder
All mixed together in the pot
The finished product
I added a 1/4 teaspoon citric acid to each jar to boost the acidity
