TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Simmer 20 minutes.
• Ladle into pint jars.
• Leave 1/2 inch head space.
• Adjust lids, process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.
• Be sure to wear gloves when chopping peppers as they will burn fingers.
• Also, have good ventilation when cooking--I have found this to be true when cooking ALL salsa.
• I use a food processor for chopping.
• If you want it hotter use more jalapeños & you can use more or less cumin, as cumin makes it hot, BUT gives a good flavor.

LEMON TOMATILLO SALSA

Steps:

• Peel the skin off the tomatillos and they should feel sticky, wash until it doesn't feel sticky and does not have anymore dirt on it; cut in half or quarter.
• Trim the stem of the pepper and cut in half.
• Cut all of the stems off the cilantro and wash so there are *no* bad leaves on them.
• Peel and score the clove of garlic.
• Put the tomatillo, garlic and pepper halves in a pot of water (doesn't matter how big, just make sire they have some room).
• Let the water boil for about five minutes in medium-high water, and wait till the tomatillos color turns a bit yellowish.
• Once boiled, move the tomatillos, garlic and peppers into a food processor with about 1/2 of a cup of the hot-water (you can eye-ball it) and mix with the lemon juice and cilantro.
• Blend until they are all mixed up and at the point between course and smooth.
• Move to a container and let cool (optional, but I recommend it).
• Put on anything and enjoy!

Steps:

• Pull the husks from the tomatillos and wash them under cool water until they no longer feel sticky. Cut them into quarters and put them into the work bowl of a food processor. Add the onion and garlic and process until smooth. Add the cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice and process until the jalapeno is finely chopped.
• Scrape the mixture into a small saucepan. Season lightly with salt and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is boiled off and the salsa looks relish-y, about 15 minutes. Cool before using. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, you may want to add a little salt and/or lime juice to the salsa before serving.
