Salsa

Gold Medal tomatoes waiting for their turn in the water

Romas, Hungarian Hearts & Rutgers cooling in the sink.

Today we made prepped salsa.  The red salsa was made of 1/2 roasted and half raw tomatoes.  six 5 pints (one died in the pressure cooker) were mild and had cilantro.  The remainder was cilantro free and had extra chilis (mushroom, bishop's crown) from last year.  I expect there will be 6 - 8 half pints, but for now it is in the freezer until it cools down more before I fire up the pressure canner again.  Likewise the yellow tomatoes along with the alma paprika (white non bell peppers) have been diced and frozen for later although they may become soup.
