Today before I went to work I went to my friend Kellie's house to help her make the best salsa ever! Now I have made bunches of jam's and pickles before and I have a pressure cooker and I have canned moose meat with my sister and I have also canned other stuff but I have never made anything with tomatoes, the whole peeling and chopping and blanching just seemed to be to much, not worth the bother Well, this salsa is worth the bother! My job was to peel and rough chop the tomatoes and I did that rather well if I do say so myself. Kellie made 17 pints and still had enough to make another batch, other then she didn't have enough hot peppers. It was so good that on Wed, on my off day, I'm going up to Clinkers and getting that big bunch of tomatoes to make salsa just like Kellie's. So when my Mom and Dad come down and also when my sister Patty and her husband come down, I will give them homemade salsa.
A little Haiku for you.
Peel,Chop,Slice,Dice,Mix.
Scotch bonnets add the right heat.

I love your Haiku Kris! Who would think you could Haiku with tomatoes/Salsa!!! Hummm, some salsa would taste really good on a Tuesday (hint, hint)!
ReplyDeleteI thought you were afraid you wouldn't like mushy tomatoes, but it's better than expected, eh? Tim would probably love some. Maybe you should send a jar up to us?
