Green tomato salsa

Alright this is more of a record for us for next year. One jar of salsa didn't seal-the lid was flawed from the get go but we tried anyway- which has allowed us to sample fully processed salsa. It's great, really really good heat and flavor if I don't say so myself.



20 c. chopped green and partially ripe tomatoes (~12 lbs)

6 c. finely chopped onions (2 Walla Walla, 3 regular yellow)

14 fire roasted Serrano peppers

1/2 bulb garlic

2/3 can chipotles with sauce

1/3 c. cumin seed

1/4 c. salt

1/4 c. pepper

1 T. coriander

4 c. lime juice

1/2 - 1 c. cider vinegar



We ran the onion, garlic, and peppers through the food processor for a fine chop. Then cooked the tomatoes, onion mix, and spices for approximately 45 min. Just before we started packing the sterilized jars, we added the lime juice and vinegar because I was afraid to cook off the acidity. Process the jars in boiling water canner 15 min at sea level. Made 13 and a bit pints.

We're still working on a name for the salsa and label design.
