You know I had to do it. First, Jenny makes zesty salsa. Then, Sara. Ryan loves salsa, so I had to try the zesty salsa from Ball’s Complete Guide to Home Preservation.
And, it didn’t disappoint. Check out the recipe at Anything Perfect. Or get the book. I made 9 pints, which should last us a week or so. 😉
On the canning agenda:

Pickles
Pickled zucchini

Isn’t it delicious? And that pile of peppers…wow. Are those all from your garden? I am thinking I need to make some more because we are plowing through it.
Mmm…I love salsa and it would last about that long in my house too. You’re doing such a great job with your canning and new house repair!
Yum! Did you grow everything? Our garden failed miserably this year, so I may have to suck it up and buy stuff from the store!

Yum!! The husband made this a couple years ago… so tasty!! 🙂 I saw a canning blog yesterday and thought of you… have you seen foodinjars.com?! I’m sure you have, but she had some really yummy looking stuff on there!!
Oh great. More recipes I need to try. 🙂 Looks delish!
I. LOVE. HOMEMADE. SALSA.
there is actually a woman in town that makes me salsa to sell in the shop and to use in my baskets. i just picked them up today. 120 jars! wow! but it’s amazing!
congrats on your salsa. i’m fairly certain YOU can do anything you put your mind to.
Ooo—-I loooove me some salsa!
We made the Zesty too Kim….it’s awesome. My husband is a total salsa aficianado and he LOVES it. We made it pretty spicy (left all the seeds and veins)….how did you do yours? We’ve been through three pints already. 😉 Better make more.
I’m not a salsa fan, something about the soupy yet chunky texture and I’m not a big fan of spices. But John always has an open jar, maybe I should try this (you know when I have a kitchen) to save a few bucks.
We did a salsa tasting during a class at the market one year. Five different kinds of salsa including zucchini, green tomato and the zesty salsa. Zesty salsa won hands down.
Good choice but …. yea, you only made enough for a week!!! 🙂
