Ingredients

  • 10 Tomatoes
  • 2 Onions
  • 2 Green Peppers
  • 6 Jalepenos
  • 4 Teaspoons Minced Garlic
  • 1/2 Cup Cilantro
  • 1/3 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Teaspoons Cumin
  • 2 Teaspoons Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Coriander
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos into small pieces. Make sure to remove the seeds and core. If you want the salsa extra spicy then you can leave the jalapeno seeds.
  • After cutting then you will mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • Add the salsa to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir frequently. Let the salsa simmer for 45-55 minutes to thicken.
  • After cooking let the salsa cool down before freezing.
  • Once the salsa is cooled down you can then transfer it to freezer-safe bags or an airtight container. Label so you know when you froze them. Leave some room at the top of the bags or the container as the salsa will expand when frozen.

Notes

To get the sauce thicker you can add a can of tomato paste. This is not a canning recipe.
