Last week when I was visiting with my daughter, she requested that next year I make some spicy salsa. But “no time like the present” right? The garden is looking pretty sad, but it is still producing tomatoes and peppers. I was able to pick enough of both to make two batches of spicy salsa this weekend.
Most of the salsa was canned in quart jars for my “kids”, but I canned a few in pint jars to give as gifts. You can design and print off your own personal labels. If you use Avery labels, they are many templates that are easy to use and personalize. Tie a bit of raffia or ribbon around the jar to make it look extra festive.
I used the same recipe that I use for my mild salsa (link below), with a few changes. I used 5 jalapenos, but left in the membranes and seeds for extra spice. I also reduced the sugar amount to 3 tablespoons.
Everyone needs a jar of salsa handy! It is the perfect dip for chips – but really so many things are better with a little spicy salsa on top! Try a spoonful over scrambled eggs or add it to your tacos or fajitas. Make a burrito bowl, use it in a casserole or use it to top a baked potato with a bit of sour cream. Enjoy!
