salsa

[mrspodboy]

hi all, new to this. but i canned a whole lot of salsa last year and i want to use it. here are the ingredients:

8 cups tomatoes, peeled, chopped and drained

2 � cups chopped onion

1 � cups chopped green pepper

3 � 5 chopped jalapenos

6 cloves minced garlic

2 tsp cumin

2 tsp pepper

1/8 cup canning salt

� cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/3 cup vinegar

16 oz. tomato sauce

16 oz tomato paste

Mix all ingredients, bring to a boil, boil 10 minutes. Pour into hot jars, process at 10 lbs of pressure for 30 minutes for pints.

Makes 6 pints

what do you all think? I am making chicken fajita and want to put it on top with some alvacado?

As long as your tomato sauce and tomato paste didn't have any sugar or other non-compliant ingredients, you should be on your way to a yummy meal.

thanks for your reply, i don't remember the what canned stuff i used. I think i will just give this stuff away, and bring it to parties. I will look at some more compliant recipes.

that fajita recipe was a winner, next time i will make a doulble batch nom nom

You know what - I would use it. The small amount of sugar that may or may not have been in there is not likely to cause you trouble. Just don't drink a jar of salsa per day

When you're done with that, Publix brand salsa is compliant.
