Salsa
Garden fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, green pepper, jalapeño pepper, cilantro or parsley, salt & pepper all chopped up to make a salsa that you can serve with tortilla chips.
It is the end of our garden season so I thought I would whip up a batch of the salsa that I use to can about 50 pints of to last the winter season.
Ingredients
Using a knife, cut the vegetables into small pieces.
Place them into a food processor and chop.
I like this hand turn chopper because I can
control how small the vegetables get chopped.
Add the chopped vegetables to a saucepan
and add the rest of the ingredients.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Turn to a simmer and simmer until the vegetables
are cooked the way you like them.
*************************************
This is the way we like it, but you don’t have to cook this at
all if you don’t want to, just chop everything, stir and serve.
Place salsa into the refrigerator until ready to serve.

I have just decided to change the menu for tomorrow! Thank you for sharing the recipe! 🙂
Lol you’re welcome!
That looks so delicious! Nachos and salsa (and guacamole) are one of my favourite snacks! Enjoy it.
Thank you! It’s funny because there is very little I don’t like but guacamole and green peppers are two of them…lol I put green peppere in this but with the jalapeno’s being hot I can’t taste them. This is the ONLY thing I will make with green pepper.
Looks delishous.
Thanks so much!
looks great will try today with my last bit of tomatoes, thanks Diane! ❤️ Cindy
That’s exactly what I did Cindy. Thank you and I hope you enjoy!❤
I am sure I will!!!! thanks much!🙏❤️
Always so attractive 🙂 Thank you, dear Diane – amitiés
Thank you for you nice comment!
Perfect with nacho crisps! 😇
Oh yes!!! Love this salsa. ❤️
Thanks so much!
My friend makes the best salsa and shares…I have to ask her if she cooks hers now! Nothing like a good salsa in the ref just waiting to shine.
The only reason I cook it is because I like to can mine for winter. We got so use to it being cooked from canning that it is how we like it now. Lol
This looks so fresh and delicious ,homemade salsa always the best!
I agree it sure beats the store bought and much, much cheaper when you grow your own veggies! Thank you!
While our garden is in transition from spring/summer to winter, I’m still always on the lookout for recipes to utilize our tomato and pepper crops. This is one we’ll be adding for next summer’s harvest for sure. Thanks!
You’re welcome, we do it for the same reason Rosemarie. Have a great week!🌸🌺🌹
Your salsa looks so good. Great way to use up some garden veggies. I have one of those hand crank food processors too. When I first really started cooking I wanted a food processor and my Dad wanted to get me one but they were so expensive. He found one of those at a local store and bought it for me. Even though when I got older and I could get an electric food processor, I still kept that one. I use it occasionally, but I keep it more for sentimental reasons.
Awww how sweet! This is the only chopper I use mine for. It took me an entire garden season to come up with this recipe. Then I finally figured out this would be the perfect chopper so I bought one. I have melted a few handles from using it for so long at one time. It would get so hot and the handle would just snap off. I just run out and buy another one! Lol Thank you Christy!
This looks fabulous! C
Thank you Cheryl, I like it with cilantro the best but all I had was my homegrown parsley in the garden so I used that instead. I use to make so much of this salsa and then can it, in my younger days. Lol If things ever slow down around here I may can it again some day.
Hello Diane, how are you? It’s a long time
Hi Kurian! Everything is good here. Trying to stay home as much as possible to stay healthy. So far so good. How about you? It is nice hearing from you!
I am good too Diane. Taking care in this Covid Times.
Sorry for the delay in responding
Looks so great and is even more delicious because is made with your own grown veggies 😉😋
Yes you can’t beat homegrown “FREE” food…lol Thank you! 💕
Oh ! Super, mouth watering. You are perfect to make Indian food.
Awwwww Thank you! I use to make around 50 pints of this every year and can it. Now I just can’t find the time.
That’s the problem of everyone.
Looks fantastic!! 😋🙂
Thank you it was a great way to use up extra garden veggies.
Delicious 😋
Thank you so much!
making tonight Diane, I’ll let you know how it goes… Thanks again. ❤️ Cindy
Will you cook it or leave it uncooked? Most people like it uncooked but because I am use to canning it, we are use to it being cooked.
oh interesting… I cooked it but I’d love to kn ow how to can it?
It is quite good.. Thanks for the tip.
If canning isn’t done properly it can make people very sick or possibly kill them. It is very easy and fun, but time consuming. When you get done with the process and all the jars of your work are sitting there, well it is such a wonderful feeling. I will never post about canning but here is the link to how to do many safe preserving processes including canning that will help you. Nchfp.uga.edu (National Center for Home Food Preservation). I hope this helps.
thanks for sharing all of that Diane!!! I shall best stick to eating it fresh!!!! Yikes that would fit in with my murder mystery post for Fri-Yay Funday tomorrow…. lol. I will check it out and we are still enjoying the salsa thanks to you! ❤️ Cindy
You are very welcome and have a great weekend!
Thanks you too!
Boy!!! That looks fresh and yummy!!

Straight from the garden. Picked the last veggies yesterday…😟 Thanks!
The best vegetables—those from our garden!
No that is one thing we don’t grow. We get so many potato bugs it destroys the plants and we never get potatoes.
just love salsa thank you .Good recipe as harvest is coming in day by day here. not sure I like Mexican tortilla at all. Like to eat hot salsa with fried chicken nibbles myself. Hope all is well and ready for winter to come .Here almost so.
We just picked the last of our veggies yesterday. It was our best year ever for the garden. Stay safe my friend!
I will bring the nachos!! delicious!!
It’s a deal and I will be waiting! Thank you!
What a difference the freshness makes! In NEPA, the end-of-garden project was “chili sauce” (though it contained no chilis!). I never made it, but I often think about doing so. Maybe next year. No relationship at all to the store-bought stuff. FYI, I made your snickerdoodles again on the weekend, Diane, and they were the hit of the neighborhood!
Awww thank you for telling me Angela. They are a great cookie to share. Yes the garden fresh veggies at the end of the season are the best for salsa. We just picked our last veggies yesterday. 😔
Yummy Salsa!
Thanks Saania!
Nice salsa recipe!
Thank you Tierney!
A salsa omelette with swiss cheese with some good sausage links or patties is a breakfast that lasts all day. Put in fresh, homemade salsa and you have something great.
You are the second person that said to have salsa with eggs. I have never heard of or tried that before, very intriguing!
Well I feel like a slug as I would go with salsa in a jar. 🙂 This looks delicious and would be tasty with the Mexican food you showed us the other day (and said I could make it).
I had a few followers from India (I think) and they said they put it over eggs! I had never heard of that before but they said it tastes great.
Well, I’ll tell you that my grandparents made what they called “chow chow” – they made separately red tomato chow chow and green tomato chow chow. It tasted a lot like chunky salsa. So my mom grew up eating that and loved it. We used to buy it from Honey Baked Ham – it was even called “chow chow” and she would put it on a fried egg, or even just on toast. I put her a case of it one year as she loved it so much. It does give eggs, which are kind of plain unless in an omelet, a little zing.
Love salsa– this looks great! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You’re very welcome! ❤️
I love salsa ! and it’s so versatile.
Yes and I found out from this post it is great on eggs! Who knew! Lol
Oh yes! Especially scrambled 😊
Looks so yummy 😋!
Thank you we love salsa.
