Canning of the tomatoes continued into Monday, we canned 6 jars of salsa, with peppers and tomatoes from our Winter Friend. It was supposed to be spicy but it did not turn out like that, I am fairly intolerant to spicy, I sweat go red and cry. I love it but, it does not like me.
We used this recipe Spicy Tomato Salsa, maybe all the peppers weren't spicy, but the piece of pepper that I tried that seemed to be the same as the others felt like burning. It ended up a bit sweet, possibly from the red wine vinegar but its better than last years batch. Found a trick, after you dice up your toms put them in a colander and let them drain into a bowl, for about an hour or till you clean up everything, that way you won't have as much water to combat with when you boil down your salsa. re-measure your tomatoes and add more to bring up to the recipes amount. That trick gave us a slightly thicker salsa this year than last. We may just have to add some Sriracha sauce when we eat some salsa.
We also tried out canning Pickled Beans, pickling is a lot faster than anything to do with tomatoes so that was more fun, less clean up.
Peace,
Have a good night.
