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

  • 1 garlic clove or 1/4tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Pulse tomatoes and onions and jalapenos in food processor 2 or 3 times to break up large chunks.
