How to Make Freezer Salsa from Fresh Tomatoes

You can make and freeze salsa from fresh garden ingredients to enjoy throughout the year. This salsa recipe makes about 6 pints of salsa, or 12 cups.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 10 fresh medium size tomatoes
• 2 fresh medium size onions
• 2 fresh medium size jalepenos
• 1 fresh medium size green pepper
• 1 fresh lemon
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large food processor
• freezer safe containers

1. 

   Wash and remove the stems of the green pepper, jalepenos, and onions. Place them in a large food processor. Run the food processor on low until the ingredients are well chopped. This salsa is mild, for hotter salsa add more jalepenos. I do not remove the seeds.

2. 

   Wash the tomatoes and remove the stems. Quarter the tomatoes and place them in the food processor.

3. 

   Juice 1 lemon and add the lemon juice to the food processor.

4. Add the salt and the garlic powder to the food processor.

5. Run the food processor on the low setting until the salsa reaches the desired consistency. For chunkier salsa, do not over-process the tomatoes.

6. Enjoy the salsa immediately or transfer the salsa to freezer safe containers and freeze.

on 9/13/2009 I want to know, do your green peppers come out
soggy from being frozen, or do you have it blended enough you don't notice? Thanks, I think I will try this.
