McLeod Family Salsa Recipe

salsaA good salsa recipe can be hard to find, so here’s ours. We’ve eaten entire jars in a single sitting.

Combine in a very large pot:

  • 3 cups chopped onions
  • 3/4 cup chopped sweet peppers
  • 6 chopped hot peppers
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 5 cups chopped tomatoes
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup vinegar (no more than 5% acidic)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 bunch chopped cilantro

Simmer 1 hour, then can. (See www.bernardin.ca for canning instructions so as to avoid botulism.)
