I just made a batch of my locally famous salsa

[panader0]

When tomatos go on sale as they did this week, (.77 for on the vine) I make salsa.
I have to do a lot of knife work.
I chop up a bowl full of tomatos. Another bowl of green onions. A bunch of cilantro. A diced jalapeno. Sometimes a bit of habenero. A lemon. And a jar of garlic.
I load a small electric mixer with mostly tomatos, add the rest to taste, some sea salt and mix.
I swear, it's delicious, and it'll be better in a day or two.
Each batch is slightly different. Some hot, some garlicy. Jeannie makes me make for her office gifts on Christmas and I have had offers for more and more.
I put it in mason jars and use it for dip or on eggs or whatever.
I have sweat on my cheeks as I type. Yum.

2. shouldn't

salsa have a 1:1 ratio of tomato and jalapeno?

I think so.

4. Really? That'd be awful hot.

[some guy]

9. dunno, I was just asking.

But awful hot sounds about how I like salsa. :9

7. That's how I make mine

Love it. And I use the food processor so I don't have to do all that chopping.

[some guy]

11. okay.

I don't ever actually make salsa, so I don't know. But very hot is the way I like to eat salsa.

food processor would be faster and easier; chopping might make for a more chunkier salsa, which is good.

10. At the least. If it don't burn, it ain't hot enough.

3. Like the green onions! Although I make mine with poblanos. Yup, I'm a wussy.

5. No cumin?

6. Try it with lime some time.

I can see how the scallions would work well in a blended salsa -- that nice grassy flavor really stands up to the other ingredients. I tend to make a pico de gallo with chopped ingredients and minced onions work better in that.

8. Lol

LOL

12. That's wuss sauce.

This is my weak sauce
6 Apricots
4 Habaneros
1 medium red onion
6 garlic cloves.

Run it all through a food processor. Add a little vinegar and it's ready to roll. Great on a cheese omelet.

13. Sounds DELICIOUS & I'm bookmarking.
