We left out the celery and added some lime juice (3 limes for this recipe), left out the oregano and added some cumin... so maybe it's not the same recipe at all. Basically we were looking for ratios and this one came closest to what we had on hand. It was good, but not hot enough for our liking. Great veggie/tomato taste, but the next batch we're going to increase the amount of peppers.

Not impressed at all. I only used to celery stalks and it was still to much. Not much flavor at all.

First off, one can easily make this using fresh tomatoes (about 4), 2 cloves garlic, cilantro, 2 hot peppers & put it all in a blender...add whatever ingrediants you like except celery and make it as hot or mild as you please. My mistake was making this...went back to my recipe.

The only thing I did different was reduce the celery by half. I measured the tomatoes AFTER peeling and seeding. (Well I measured 1 lb and then guessed what 5 lbs would be) Made 12 pints.

I read all the reviews before making this recipe and decided to leave out the celery altogether. (I'm not crazy about celery!!) I also added 1/2 cup of lime juice (freshly squeezed). I used Beefeater and Early Girl tomatoes instead of Roma's. I like very spicy salsa so I put up 3 pints using the recipe and then added 2 jalapenos (with seeds) and 2 Haberneros (with seeds) and additional 1/4 c. of lime juice. Very spicy!!!! Yum

Yummy but I cut back on the celery to half the amount asked for. The green chilis gave it a great flavor. I thought it would be too hot so I cut back on the jalapeno, I should have used everything. My recipe was very flavorful but very mild.

I would say it is good, not great!Used fresh tomatoes,peppers,cilantro,garlic and onions from the garden and was really excited about a great Salsa after all of the work that I put into preparation. Husband and children said it was good...but lacking something to give it the great salsa taste that we really love. I am still going to try and see if I can salvage this batch and bring it to the point where they will enjoy it and I will feel good about sharing with others.
