7 Pepper Salsa
Serves 8
Ingredients
Scale:
1x
- 6 large Cherry peppers
- 2 bunch es Cilantro leave
- ΒΌ cup Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoon Canning salt
Instructions
- 1. Remove skin from tomatoes. Easiest done by placing in boiling water for 1 minute. You will need to do this in batches. Quarter these and then cut into 1" pieces. Place these into a collander and allow the clear yellow liquid to drain away.
- 2. While the 'maters are draining, add the olive oil to a large stock pot and heat. Slice the garlic and onions and add to the hot oil. Saute for about 5 minutes and then remove from heat. Chop the cilantro and add to the stock pot along with the salt. Stir well.
- 3. Prepare the Japs by discarding the stem caps and then slicing crosswise into 1/4" pieces. Add these to the stock pot and 1/2 the drained maters. Simmer uncovered while you prepare the rest of the peppers.
- 4. Reserve the Bolivian Peppers. For the other peppers, cut off the stem caps and remove the seeds and slice into 1/4" pieces. Add these to the stock pot and add the remaining 'maters a few at a time. Continue simmering but don't mix too often.
- 5. Add the vinegar and the remaining 'maters. Mix well and remove from the heat.
- 6. To preserve, place the salsa into sterilized jars leaving 1" at the top. Add a couple of the Bolivian Rainbow peppers to each jar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of canning salt to each jar. Process for 30 minutes in a water bath.
