Fresh Salsa

In Oklahoma, October usually marks the end of the garden season. Tomatoes seem to hang on and grow in fits and spurts. Never yielding enough for canning. Peppers seem to flourish during this time of year.

We have found it’s fun to make fresh salsa with whatever the garden yields for the week.

Garden Fresh Salsa Recipe:

10 tomatoes any variety diced
1 small onion (red, white or yellow) diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
3 hot peppers chopped
3 sweet peppers chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
1 Tbs salt
1 can tomato paste
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 Tbs sugar
Juice of 1 lime

Instructions:

Put tomatoes in a food processor and pulse. Add the remaining ingredients and blend to consistency of your liking. Taste the salsa and add more sugar, salt or lime juice to make it the way you like. Put salsa in a bowl and seal with a lid. Put in the refrigerator so the flavors can meld. Enjoy with all of your favorite dishes. Lasts about one week in the refrigerator.
