Karen says
Can this be jarred and frozen? If canning how long do you process them for?
Celeste says
Karen this can certainly be jarred. I have yet to try putting in the freezer. If canning I would process 15 to 20 minutes. I hope this helps.
Steve Thomas says
Found your recipe after making my own, stove top. I laid an ample sprig of tarragon on the mix before stewing ingredients. Removed tarragon after ten minutes. Then added chopped fresh basil. Also put a quarter cup of red wine in at the start. No cumin or poblano but otherwise like your recipe. Uncovered the skillet after fifteen to twenty minutes to reduce liquid. I used it for huevos rancheros.
Celeste says
Hi Steve, I like your recipe and I think I'll give the basil a try the next time I make this. Sounds so delicious.
Mike says
Hi Celeste, This is a wonderful recipe! Thanks. Anaheim peppers were not handy, so I used poblano. And, my tomatoes were mostly Sunburst cherry tomatoes. Salsa came out with a nice golden color, and the flavor is perfectly tangy for this 4th of July. Planned to send a picture, but don't I am not on Instagram. Thanks again, and happy Independence Day.
Celeste says
I'm so glad that it turned out well for you. Enjoy and Happy 4th????????

"Simple recipe. Very tasty. The whole family loves it. Added pesto to one. Delish!
Celeste says
Adding pesto sounds tasty. We love pesto in my house, it makes everything taste better. I'm glad that your family love it.
Michelle says
I made 6 jars of this and canned it. It's the best salsa I've tasted. I'm wondering if this recipe is safe for long term storage? So many recipes call for vinegar and this doesn't have any so I want to be sure it'll store properly.
Celeste says
I'm glad you are enjoying this recipe. This salas should last about a week to 10 day in the fridge. When I make it, it never last long I use it a lot in recipes. As far as canning goes, you may want to add a bit more lime juice, I would add 1/4 cup to give it the acid it needs for canning.Be sure to follow the correct canning methods for tomatoes. I'll have to give it a try. You may also experiment with freezing, however this may change the texture. I hope this helps.
Christie says
I love this salsa and have frozen it in glass jars. Just remember to leave a 1 inch of head space for expansion. I’d thaw it out and enjoy during the winter months. Yum! Thanks for a great recipe.
