Salsa is a must-have in our home. I love having homemade salsa on hand because it comes in so handy for many meals and it also makes a healthy snack. Last fall we had a lot of tomatoes given to us, so I made batch after batch of salsa to have us stocked over the winter.

Homemade Salsa
This homemade salsa is tried and true - it's colorful and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 10 large tomatoes
- 4 red peppers
- 2 orange peppers
- 2 yellow peppers
- 3 medium onions
- 8 garlic cloves
- 2 jalapeño peppers
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1 tbsp pink salt
- 3 rounded tbsp taco seasoning
- 4 tbsp chicken bouillon* (see note under recipe)
- 8 oz tomato paste
- black beans and corn (optional to add color)
Instructions
- Peel tomatoes (I pour boiling water over mine to make pealing easy).
- Put all ingredients (except beans and corn) in a pot on the stove and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 1 hour.
- Add beans and corn (if desired) and bring back up to a boil.
- Can or freeze.
* We do not eat packaged bouillon, so I just add more pink salt, you can also make your own homemade bouillon.
