Salsa Recipes (All Heats)

My niece has grown a huge garden, from what it sounds, and now she has all of the tomatoes.  She was interested in her uncle Doug's salsa recipes.  I couldn't believe I haven't posted these recipes before, but they are very good.  Watch out for the habaneros!  This comes from experience.  :)


Mild Salsa 
makes 1 Quart 

2 Cans Mexican Style Tomatoes (Stewed)
1 Medium Bell Pepper
1 Small Onion
4 Garlic Cloves (2 Tablespoons of chopped)
4 Jalapeno Peppers without seeds
1 Teaspoon Cumin Spice
1 Tablespoon Cilantro/Coriander Spice

Place ingredients in chopper or blender and combine to desired consistency.

Hot Salsa
makes 1 Quart

2 Cans Mexican Style Tomatoes (Stewed)
1 Medium Bell Pepper
1 Small Onion
4 Garlic Cloves (2 Tablespoon of chopped)
4 Jalapeno Peppers with seeds
2 Habanero Peppers with seeds (IF CAN'T FIND USE 4-5 JALAPENO'S W/SEEDS)
      (Red Habanero's are real hot.  If you want it hotter, you can add 2 more)
1 Teaspoon Cumin Spice
1 Tablespoon Cilantro/Coriander Spice

Place ingredients in chopper or blender and combine to desired consistency.


9-11 Salsa
makes 1 Quart
"Make at your own risk" 

2 Cans Mexican Style Tomatoes (Stewed)
1 Medium Bell Pepper
1 Small Onion
6 Garlic Cloves (2 Tablespoons of chopped)
8 Jalapeno Peppers with seeds
1 Teaspoon Cumin Spice
1 Tablespoon Cilantro/Coriander Spice

Place ingredients in chopper or blender and combine to desired consistency.

*1 Habanero is 10 times hotter than 1 jalapeño, use with caution!  Use surgical gloves when cleaning peppers and dispose of after use.  Do not touch any part of your body until hands have been thoroughly washed.

Trust me - you will want to use surgical gloves and a well vented around when working on Habanero peppers. 


Enjoy!
