Making Salsa

It's that time of year for the garden produce to be converted into tasty salsa. This year, I planted 6 tomato plants and 9 pepper plants. I planted 3 jalapeno plants, 1 chili plant, 1 habanero plant, 1 banana hot pepper, 1 banana sweet pepper, and 2 green pepper plants. We didn't have a late season freeze this year, thus I was able to get the plants in a little earlier than last year. Well, there were enough peppers and tomatos (mostly) to make my first batch of salsa. Making homemade salsa can be a real chore, but I love the taste so much that it's definitely worth it to me. I didn't quite have enough tomatoes, so I did buy a few tomatoes at the store. I miscalculated and still didn't have enough so ended up using a couple cans of diced tomatoes as well, one of which was Italian Style. So, the salsa turned out somewhat on the mild side, and has an italian flavor. Oh well. The canning process was uneventful and everything looked good. We'll see how it tastes in a few months.
