Equipment

16 oz Mason Jar

Ingredients

2 14 oz. cans of stewed tomatoes
2 canned tomatoes (diced with green chilies) for Paleo: blanch another two pounds of tomatoes and add two chopped fresh green chilies
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 whole jalapeno peppers seeds and membranes removed, minced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of one lime

Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a large food processor or blender and process until you reach the desired consistency. If you have a smaller food processor, like I do, you may need to process in batches to avoid a mess of tomato products spilling down the side of your cabinets.
If you plan to serve the salsa immediately, refrigerate it for about an hour to chill and allow the flavors to mingle. Otherwise, transfer the mixture into mason jars or other freezer-safe containers.

Notes

Instead of 2 14 oz. cans of stewed tomatoes, you can use:

1 large can (28 oz.) of whole tomatoes with juice
Or for Paleo: blanch two pounds of roma tomatoes, cool, and remove skins.

Instead of 2 cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, you can use:

For Paleo: blanch another two pounds of tomatoes and add two chopped fresh green chilies

Storage Info:

Store your homemade freezer salsa in an airtight container or freezer-safe mason jars, leaving space at the top for expansion. It will stay good for up to 3 months in the freezer. If you're storing it in the fridge instead of the freezer, the salsa will remain fresh for about 5-7 days. Salsa is typically enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
