Lots of garden-nummy tomatoes, but what to do with them? Salsa! I used seven or eight of my tomatoes, Grandma's hot peppers (3, no seeds) and Grandma's sweet orange peppers (2). Lots of chopped onions. Added a bit of sugar, salt, ground pepper, chili powder (wife's idea).
Everything but the tomatoes was cut up and sweated in a bit of olive oil. Tomatoes were skinned, cut up, and reduced. No cilantro on hand, unfortunately.
Thoughts for next time:
- Lightly sweating the non-tomato veg was good but they were added too soon. Next time, sweat them and add them at the last second! The flavors can marry in the jar.
- Cilantro.
- Don't add sugar if using the same peppers. Those orange ones are very sweet on their own.
- Include the seeds with the hot peppers! After cooking they lost all their punch.
