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.

- 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.
- 1 large can (28 oz.) of whole tomatoes with juice
- Or for Paleo: blanch two pounds of roma tomatoes, cool, and remove skins.
- For Paleo: blanch another two pounds of tomatoes and add two chopped fresh green chilies
