I make salsa all summer as soon as my crops are ready. I can the stuff and have several cases stored in a cool, dry place in preparation for winter. We usually end up eating all the supply before summer - don't look like this winter is gonna be any different. Bet I canned 50-60 pints too.

So, today at the market, I picked up a load of Romas & habs & a bunch of totally tasteless, heatless jalapenos (didn't know that till I got home and took a bite). I had the rest of needed ingredients in the frig already. Went on to make a big batch of the best salsa I've had since last summer. Why haven't I been doing this all along?!!!! Michelle in KC
