Recipes from my cousin Kirsten that I definitely need to try :)
Salsa
4 Roma tomatoes
1 onion
1 green pepper
1 anaheim chili
1 jalapeño
1 garlic clove
1tsp salt
Rinse, chop, seed the green pepper, but put in the jalapeño, and chili whole. (alter depending on your taste)Once it's blended well, cook for 20 min at a low boil. Stir occasionally. Makes 1 quart. Half in the fridge and half in the freezer in Tupperware. It's awesome. You can make a huge batch and can it all. This salsa is awesome with cream cheese and wheat thins.
