Salsa Recipe (picante sauce) – Dianne’s

Salsa has a high acid content so it will keep in the refrigerator for several (5-7) days.

This recipe makes about 44 ounces

Ingredients:

  • 2 – 16oz cans of tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove or 1/4tsp garlic powder

  • 2 heaping tsp cilantro (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Pulse tomatoes and onions and jalapenos in food processor 2 or 3 times to break up large chunks.
  2. Mix ingredients
  3. We used to heat this to get the flavors  to meld but we started just refrigerating it overnight instead.
