Our family did not like this recipe when we made it exactly like it says. We definitely did not like the vinegar in it. For an alternate recipe, we got some tips from my mother-in-law & boiled our cabbage instead. We fried about 6 slices of bacon in a skillet, crumbled it & added it plus a couple of spoonfuls of bacon grease to the boiled cabbage, and added salt & pepper to taste. It was delicious prepared her way.

These were great! Even the kids loved them. We mixed all the crushed crackers with the salmon, and didn't add back any of the liquid. We did put the patties in the refrigerator until we were ready to fry them, and used a bit of olive oil to cook them in.

This is a great recipe if you need to make a lot of salsa or want to make a bunch at once and can it or freeze it. We cut the recipe by about a fourth and it still made about 8 cups. We froze it in 2 cup sizes, as the bottles at the store are 16 ounces. These are the modifications I made to the recipe, for our 1/4 size batch. I did my own calculations, as I didn't trust the ones on the site to be accurate enough, and they did turn out with different numbers than I did. I actually didn't have as much fresh tomatoes as it called for (nor did I have a food mill), so I actually just used 1/2 the amount in fresh tomatoes and 1/2 the amount in crushed tomatoes, and it turned out great. I used 4 large tomatoes. With the fresh tomatoes, I peeled them by cutting an x on the non-stem end and dipping them in boiling water to make the peel easier to remove. Then I cut them into quarters and put them into my food processor (I didn't bother seeding them). I put the crushed tomatoes into the food processor as well (one large 28 oz can) of crushed tomatoes and one 6 ounce can of tomato paste. Then you boil all of this and while this is boiling down (to reduce the liquid) you can work on chopping everything else. We used 1/2 bunch of cilantro, 1 bell pepper (seeded) and one onion, 1/2 head of crushed garlic and one seeded jalapeno pepper. I had never worked with jalapeno before, and I used gloves to handle it. I was afraid of making it too spicy, so I only used 1 pepper, but after I tasted a
