Very tasty, very salsa certified !!! Only thing i changed was I did choose fresh garlic instead, and used habanero pepper instead of jalapeno, and finally added about a tablespoon of sugar. sooooo yummy !

Very good! My family loves this recipe. If you don't like it too spicy try seeding the jalapenos. I seeded all my jalapenos & it was just enough spice for us. And, yes, I used all of the jalapenos. The only other thing I did different was I did NOT boil everything down. I chopped everything up real fine and kept it fresh. YUM!!!(Just to clarify I did boil the 6 lbs. tomatoes and mashed them up.)

Really great recipe! Only flaw was the tomatoes got way too mushy before the onion was cooked; taste is perfect but texture is sadly like spaghetti sauce. Next time I'll saute the onions first. I was out of cilantro but had Chinese mint in the garden so substituted that but it's quite strong so could have used less than I did. I canned most of this recipe and kept enough aside for a truly yummy feast tonight (corn chips with salsa, enchiladas with salsa, mmmm!) I'll definitely be making this again and again!

I'm not much of a salsa person, but my fiancé loves hot, spicy salsa. I made this for him and his friends for a Sunday afternoon football game. They all loved it! I am definitely going to make this again!

the best homemade salsa. I cut down on the peppers as other people said, used half a bunch of cilantro, and it was very good. BF is not a salsa and chip fan and he keeps eating it on me. I froze mine and it tastes good just as good defrosted. (I made it not as chunky for this reason)

This is a very tasty salsa. I cut back on the Jalepenos and used 3/4 lb, still a little hot but not too bad. It's missing something, so maybe next time I will add red and green peppers to it. Definitly a great salsa.

This was good! But - HOT!!! I had to add a ton more tomatoes to cool it down, even though I scaled back on the cayenne & only used a 1/2 lb jalepenos - I went running for water! Next time I'll use even less cayenne. I would not recommend canned "crushed" tomatoes - these were like tomato sauce really - no tomato chunks in that stuff at all (at least not the kind I used, Thrifty Maid). Luckily I had a few cans of peeled whole tomatoes, which I drained & diced into chunks. That helped a LOT to give it a more salsa-like consistency. Next time I'll look for canned diced tomatoes, or just attempt using fresh. I used a lime and lemon's juice, and doubled the cilantro (which may have unexpectedly added the extra heat). This is definitely a "cooked" salsa - which still came out surprisingly good, but it's not quite like that awesome fresh stuff at an authentic Mexican restaurant. I still am scouring the universe for a recipe for that! This does have the consistency of "Pace" salsa, but it tastes WAY, WAY better, and I like knowing there's nothing in it I can't pronounce! Tip: Prep EVERYTHING before you start! I didn't, and it took me hours! Also, don't cook *too* long - the salsa keeps cooking after u remove it from the heat. My veggies were a tad soft for my taste. Any longer & it may have turned into a spicy spaghetti sauce! I also roasted my jalepenos - kind of a pain but worth it for the flavor.

This Salsa is so easy to make. After first tasting the Salsa I was drifting of to my vacation in Mexico. I never though I would be able to make such good Salsa, but thanks to this recipe I can. I have already used the Salsa in different recipe Cowboy Chicken. This turned out lovely as well!

My brother asked for salsa that tasted like the kind our local Mexican restaurant served. I made this recipe and he was shocked! It was so delicious! Wonderfully easy to adjust to heat according to your taste. Simply adjust the cayenne pepper and perhaps add an extra or take away a jalapeno pepper. I also blended mine since we don't prefer the chunks. Perfect! Thank you!

This is an excellent salsa. I made lots of this last year, and canned it for gifts. What a hit! Better than the salsa I had been canning. Thanks Kiki.

I wanted a peach salsa recipe (for chips not grilling) and could not find one, so I took this one, added equal amounts of tomatoes as peaches. I omitted the red onion since I did not have one. I did not seed my jalapenos -well it got REALLY hot, but I just doubles everything else and now it is great - nice flavor and a great kick! I added about 1/4 of sugar too. Thanks!!

My husband & I make and can salsa every year with the vegetables from our garden. We have tried many recipes and this is the best by far.

just what I wanted! I used canned tomatoes, fresh garlic, doubled the cilantro and omitted the cumin. I didn't have any jalapeno on hand so I crumbled in some dried chillies to taste. Let it sit for an hour and added some diced chicken. Fabulous!

Made this last nite and took to work this morning. Everyone loves it! I did cut down on the jalepenos to just over half a pound and used fresh chopped garlic "the heads". We like garlic! Also used lime juice instead of lemon. Will make again and again.

I find it odd that I'm only one of a few who has rated this below 5 stars! This just wasn't our cup of tea. It was too sour and mushy and not what I expect from homemade salsa. This tastes eerily similiar to jarred salsa (re: Pace Picante). Definately will not make this recipe again.

This is Kikiwood. I have found a variation that my family really likes. I now take the jalapenoes and roast them in a cast iron skillet until the skin is black. The skin then comes off easily and it gives the salsa a more complex flavor. I'm glad that everyone has been enjoying the receipe.

this is a no-fail recipe. i used canned crushed tomatoes one time and whole tomatoes another(tip: process w/o juice first then add juice to create texture to your liking) & tried it with lemon juice one time & lime another. each time i made this it was fantastic! you can add more cilantro or garlic to your taste. i quartered it and it made plenty for 8 people.
