Blender Salsa

March 17, 2013

Easy, Fresh Blender Salsa Recipe for Kids.

I wanted a way for my kids to make salsa on their own, so I came up with this easy salsa recipe they can make in the food processor or blender. It takes less then a half an hour to put it together.

Ingredients for Blender Salsa:

4 medium, ripe tomatoes, peeled and cut in to eighths

1 medium  onion, coarsely chopped

1/2 green pepper, coarsely chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

3 medium garlic cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pure cane sugar or coconut sugar

Instructions for Blender Salsa:

Combine all ingredients in blender or food processor, pulse until desired consistency.
Serve with tortilla chips or use in your favorite recipe.  Refrigerate leftovers.

I prefer Roma tomatoes for homemade salsa, because they are more meaty.  If you use Romas, you need to add a couple extra tomatoes to the recipe.

Can this Salsa Recipe: 

Heat salsa in a large sauce pan. While the salsa is hot, ladle into clean, hot pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch head-space.  Adjust 2-piece caps.  Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.  Remove from canner to a cooling rack.  Allow time to seal, refrigerate jars that do not seal and eat within a few days.

Easy way to peel tomatoes:

Place tomatoes in boiling (low boil) water.  Allow to boil 1 minute.  Remove with a slotted spoon and immerse in cold water, cut out core, peel.  The peel will come off very easily.

Quick  tip:

When handling jalapeño peppers, wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.  For less spicy salsa, seed the jalapeños before chopping or use less.
