Kick A$$ Fresh Salsa in the middle of the winter.

Jarhead

This stuff is great for dipping, tacos, burritos, and so on. Don't know where it came from, it was in my Mom's old cookbook, penciled in with the words, "excellent" beside it. And it is, I added the Japs to it, increase or decrease to your taste. Even though she's gone, she still influences my cooking.

Simple Salsa

1 28 oz can Diced Tomatoes
� Medium Onion, Diced
1 4.5 oz can chopped Green Chiles
1 T Sugar
1 T Dried Parsley
� t Salt
� t Garlic Powder
� t Ground Cumin
� t Freshly Ground Pepper
2 Med. Jalapeno Peppers, diced

Directions:
Stir together all ingredients. Chill 30 minutes.

Makes 4 cups

Sounds like a keeper Jarhead. The salsa my MIL gave me is almost gone, and I'm a salsa fiend Twisted Evil

Will have to try.

It is a great salsa, especially in the winter when there is nothing growing but snow and frost. Tweek it to your taste. Just let it set for a while, then increase peppers, if desired. Been there done that and it will melt 1" of ice if you are not careful. This is about medium. Shocked

Sounds good. I have one that is pretty close but I think I'm going to give this a try for New Years Eve.

This is just a suggestion. You might try some cilantro instead of parsely.

Hard to find here in this small town, it's usually hard to find anything fresh that looks worth a $*!T. I usually have dried on hand when I get the urge. If I can find it I will try it for NYE.

Thanks, jeepdad.
I usually take a #10 (1 gallon , the big one Laughing

) and make it up. I save back a quart for fresh in the fridge and bring the other to a boil and simmer about 15 minutes. Then hot pack some pint jars (7, I think) and water bath for 15 minutes. Good stuff. That's another reason I don't use the fresh greenery, I don't want to destroy the tomatoes by cooking too much. I'll post the conversion if anybody wants it. Shot me a pm or post it here. I'm watching Wink

Enjoy.
