The Best SALSA Using Canned Tomatoes
Homemade salsa is so delicious. I use to can jars full of it but not so much anymore. When there are just two people in the house we cannot go through that much in a year. The kids come over a lot but we still have leftovers when it is time to can again.You can get canned salsa at your local grocery store, but I love that this homemade recipe that calls for canned tomatoes. You can make it anytime you want.I have never been a big cilantro fan like so many other people but I make some without and some with cilantro. My family loves the flavor with it! When choosing which tomatoes to use get the ones with with “no-salt added!” We have to do that anyways because of our health issues. We really love Fire roasted tomatoes! You are going to make this Salsa over and over again.INGREDIENTS….Add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor.Canned Fire Roasted Tomatoes.OnionsGarlicJalapeños……For mild flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from both jalapeños.
