GotG SALSA Recipe



GotG SALSA

10 pounds of tomatoes, de-skinned and diced
2 pound of green chiles (In this case we used green bell peppers)
6 jalapenos, chopped
4 onions, diced
2 cup apple cider vinegar
6 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 cup cilantro, chopped small
Some oregano, cumin, and salt and sugar to your taste
I know so sad the we will have to taste a few times! The sacrifices we make for our loved ones.
All the yummy ready to go
What we ended up using total for spices
3 Tbsp Salt non iodized
2 Tbsp Cumin Powder
2 Tbsp Oregano

You will also need a large stock pot or canning pot, and 6 to 7 quart canning jars with rings and lids.

Sterilize the jars and lids in a large pot of boiling water.
We add 1 Tbsp vinegar to water to help prevent spotting from our hard water!
You can roast the peppers if you choose. Instruction for oven roasting will follow.


Put everything into a large pot and simmer for 10 minutes.

Ready to simmer



Ladle the salsa into your sterilized canning jars 1/2 inch headspace, add lids and screw rings to just finger-tight, and place in a water bath. For here at 1100 feet above sea level we let it go 25 minutes.

All canned and ready to store

We just got 25lbs Roma tomatoes for $15.00 so gonna process them all, so we got an Oster Roaster Oven with Self-Basting Lid | 22 Qt, Stainless Steel

This will be perfect replacement for the 3 crock-pots we currently use.
As 200 is low on a crock-pot and 300 is high this should make doing a full bushel of apples go so much quicker!

Our list of preserving wares
Dehydrator – Excalibur 9-Tray
It has been great Machine for use made many a thing in it but it really eats up the counter top space. With that said uses less than some models out there for the same amount of space. Also the 10 year warranty helps.

Upgraded Liners for Dehydrator
Fruit leathers and jerky opened up with these bad boys but hand wash them only.

Canner – All American 930
Good Good this Thing is a monster and it is not their largest. Heavy and takes a long time to get hot on my super puny little stove but man it will be willed to my great great grandchildren. I love it super easy to use and makes a lot of pints at the same time!

Same as above. Super handy to have 2 when processing 80 lbs of apples. Sadly this got got hurt in the line of duty, Latch got melted when kiddos set it on stove! Lid still fits just can not clamp down anymore. To be honest the clamping was more of a useless feature as we rarely take them anywhere anyways.
