Welcome to my first-ever attempt at making salsa! Because I was a little intimidated by the process, I decided to go with a 'semi-homemade' approach for my first timer salsa experience. It was a success! I ended up using a package of salsa mix, but I added in 1 can of black beans and 2 ears of sweet corn. I love this salsa!! The only tedius part about it was peeling the skins from the tomotes...have plenty of paper towels around, because juice goes evvvverywhere:)
The picture above shoes the only ingredients you'll need! (along with the 18--or so--tomatoes pictured below).
Ingredients:
18 medium tomatoes
1 pkg Mrs. Wages create salsa mix (I used the Medium pkg and it is plenty spicy for me)
1/2 c apple cider or white vinegar
2 ears sweet corn (optional)--I just microwaved them for a few minutes before cutting them off the cobs
1 can black beans (optional)--I recommend the corn & beans!!
1. First bring a pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes for 10 minutes.
You will begin to see some of the skins splitting. This is what you want, as the next step is to peel the skins off of the tomatoes.
3. Next take the tip of your knife and carve a small circle around the center of the tomatoe, where the stems are; remove.
4. Dice the tomatoes and add to the empty pot. (Drain the water from the boiling of the tomatoes first).
5. Add remaining ingredients to the tomatoes.
6. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. THATS IT!!
