BilletHead Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 More Produce to be used, Fire roasted freezer salsa. Took peppers, tomatoes and fire roasted over charcoal. Pepper mix of jalapenos, hot banana, chili and sweet yum-yum's. Cooked until they were pretty blistered some blackened. Tomatoes until soft and blistered. While doing this just cooked the onions on the gas grill., Took the results and blended it in the food processor. While doing this added some salt, pepper, garlic and a splash of vinegar to taste. The taste test followed and then ladled it up into jars.

rps Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Looks great. I make a green version with hot peppers, tomatillo, and green tomatoes. I use cilantro, onion, and lime juice.
Mitch f Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Was talking with GreasyB a while back and we both agreed chips and salsa constitutes an entire meal for us. This stuff looks pretty amazing!! Great job!! "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
cnr Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 +1 on the chips and salsa being a meal in itself. Get me around good salsa and I can make a pig of myself. Absolutely no self control. Of, course a good margarita makes it all go down pretty good too.

BilletHead Posted August 24, 2014 Author Posted August 24, 2014 Mitch no processing for this stuff. Just put into a jar and froze. When thawed it tastes fresh. It you have the freezer space it is a good way to go. We have done some by processing which needs heat like a hot water bath. If you go the freeze way be sure and leave some space in the jars fro expansion. Full jars crack. just ask Mrs. Billethead, Billethead "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

rps Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Freeze it in sealed quart freezer bags that are sealed inside a gallon freezer bag. As needed take out the quart bag, thaw, and snip a corner with scissors to make a squirt applicator. The bags fit in the freezer easier than glass. Yes, you have to eat the whole bag then, but is that ever really a problem? And, as cautioned, leave some space in the quart bag for freeze expansion.
Mitch f Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks guys Oh yeah. One more question, do you remove all seeds? Tomatoes and peppers both? "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
BilletHead Posted August 24, 2014 Author Posted August 24, 2014 Tomatoes no, on the peppers yes. If I fire roast and blister the peppers I do peel most of the skin off. On Salsa without roasting just remove seeds from peppers. Remember Mitch there is no set rule in salsa making. Do experiment use this and that.
