Mild Tomato Salsa
I got this salsa recipe from my sister, and my children and I have been making batches of it ever since. We pair pint jars with packages of tortilla chips for zesty Christmas gifts. When the kids give this present to their teachers, they can truthfully say they helped make it. —Pamela Lundstrum, Bird Island, Minnesota

Excellent recipe. I make this salsa every year and give mini jars away as gifts.
I have been making this recipe for many years now and it is the absolute best. I get comments all the time that I need to start a business in selling salsa. I have tweaked it a little bit, instead of all Jalapeno's I add 3 jalapeno peppers, chopped, 6 Serrano peppers, chopped. It gives it a little more of a kick. Thank you so much for sharing so many years ago!
This year my husband planted over 20 tomato plants in our garden because last year the tomatoes were a flop.....I was so happy with the crop, but soon became worried about what to do with all of the tomatoes...my neighbour suggested I make salsa...I have never made salsa before.....I used this recipe and the results were fantastic. I have made 3 batches and each time I alter it a bit by adding various types of hot peppers to the mix. I have also doubled up the amounts of ingredients. Some friends love hot hot hot so I added Epicure Poco Picante at the end one one batch right before canning they said it was perfect. Everyone loves the Salsa!! Thank you for sharing!!
This is VERY GOOD salsa as is, but I added a good teaspoon of ground cumin, because we love it. Will definitely make again.
I made this yesterday and it was VERY good. I don't believe I will ever buy salsa again.
Tastes great!! I was short a pepper so felt comfortable adding some cilantro. Switched out a 1/2 cup white vinegar for cider vinegar. I wish there was a way to not half to use store bought tomato paste but all in all very happy. Took me 3.5 hours start to finish.
I prefer a more authentic salsa without so much sugar or vinegar but this salsa had plenty of fresh flavors.
First time I made salsa- and it is the best salsa I've ever tasted!!! Not very sweet compared to some other homemade salsa I've tried. If you like spicy you could definitely up the jalape?os/hot sauce. Make sure to mince the garlic very fine. If you like very thick salsa, just add back a little less tomato juice than the recipe calls for. Also be sure to really break up the tomatoes when cooking (unless you like really big chunks). Most people who have tried this have asked for the recipe! We gobbled it up in a big hurry and I am about to make a second batch:)
This is an AWESOME Salsa, Yeah Its Sweet which is Perfect for my mom and I Love it too. Made 1/6 and 1/12 th of this Recipe four times Now. Is so Good... I Used Ten Times the Jalapenos and Added Cilantro Probably be about 1/3 Cup Dried Cilantro for Full Recipe, To Make a Nice Sweet n' Spicy.
Awesome recipe. A tad sweet. Next time I'll add sugar a little at a time.
