Loris Salsa Recipes

LORI'S SALSA RANCHERA

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook the bacon until done but soft, not crisp. Add the tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and serve hot over your morning eggs (huevos rancheros), tamales, beans (frijoles) or potatoes (papas). Serve cold with tortilla chips.

AUNT LORI'S SALSA

Steps:

• Chop vegetables to desired size, some like chunky salsa. Sprinkle with pickling salt and let sit covered over night. In morning drain off liquid, press to remove excess. Do not add tomatoes yet.
• In separate bowl: Mix spices, garlic and tomato paste together.
• Add sauce and tomatoes to vegetables and stir well. Cook in roaster for 1 hour at 350°. Stirring occasionally.
• Pour in sterilized jars and process in canner. Makes about 7 pints.
• I have added more tomatoes without a problem. Less or more peppers too. Chop veggies depending on size you want. Peeling zucchini is better as skin tends to be tough.
