with a Peach Salsa variation

Kaliste Kimball

Makes enough salsa to keep your man pleased for weeks! Or if you have a man like mine who loves salsa almost as much as he loves me...enough salsa to keep your man pleased for days!

Ingredients

4 large beefsteak tomatoes

1 roma tomato

1 1/2 large onions

4 medium to large jalapeno peppers

1/4-1/2 cup cilantro LEAVES (none of the stems)

4 limes

1/2 tsp chili powder

Salt to taste 

For peach salsa:

6 peaches to make the whole batch into peach salsa OR 

2 peaches to make 1/3 of the batch into peach salsa

*I personally only use 2 peaches and make 1/3 of my batch into peach salsa. That way we have lots of regular salsa to enjoy, but can still mix it up with fun flavors every once in a while.*

 

Instructions

Slice and chop beefsteak tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cilantro until the veggies are in fine little pieces. (The tomato will look more like a pulp.)

We use a vegetable chopper that looks somewhat like this:

 

 You can find veggie choppers like these for a pretty low price online, and at the store. These are good because they save you a lot of time and energy, and can chop your fruit and veggies into much smaller pieces than you can with a knife. It is what makes the texture of our salsa amazing, as well as just being a good investment to have in your kitchen.

Combine chopped veggies into a large pot that will be used on the stove later. 

Dice roma tomato into moderately sized cubes and add to mixture, to give a chunkier texture to it. Squeeze all the juice from the limes into the mixture, and add the salt and chili powder.

Follow for regular spicy salsa ONLY:

Put large pot on medium-high heat until salsa starts bubbling. Turn heat to medium-low and let simmer for 8-10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Follow for regular salsa AND peach salsa:

Take 1/3 of salsa mixture and put into a smaller pot for the stove. Take 1 1/2 peaches and chop in veggie chopper until you are left with a peachy pulp. Combine with salsa in small pot. Dice the last 1/2 of a peach into small-medium pieces and combine into salsa in small pot for peachy chunks. Put small pot on medium-high heat until peach salsa starts bubbling. Turn heat to medium-low and let simmer for 8-10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

Follow instructions for regular salsa for the remaining spicy salsa in the large pot.

Follow for peach salsa ONLY:

Slice and chop 4 peaches in the veggie chopper. Add to salsa mixture. Dice remaining 2 peaches into small pieces and add to salsa. Put large pot on medium-high heat until salsa starts bubbling. Turn heat to medium-low and let simmer for 8-10 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
