Salsa making

I've always wanted to make salsa but didn't have a ton of motivation to do so because Paul's mom always supplied us with it.  Well now that we are living hundreds of miles away I decided I better make some.  I've been around when Connie makes the salsa but never really paid attention to the whole process.  Luckily I can just call her up and she gave me the whole run down on what I needed to do.  Paul hit of the farmer's market for me (we were all going to go but I ended up at the urgent care with Greydon for strep throat) and came home with tons of chilies and tomatoes for me. 

Paul roasted the chilies and skinned them for me and then a couple days later I got work making the Salsa.

So my kitchen was pretty much destroyed while doing this.  And seriously after skinning and  chopping 30lbs of tomatoes plus all the other ingredients I had no desire to clean it up. 

This first batch was a learning experience, the salsa turned out great but I definitely learned a bunch for the next time. 

 

A couple weeks later I decided we needed more Salsa and made another batch.  It went much better, the kitchen stayed so much cleaner, the texture was better and it tasted awesome and slightly more spicy.
