Can't wait to see how all of those mix into salsa and chili's and who knows what else I can throw them into? They would be a great base for sausage too!! Might have to get BRWW and Izzy to bag a deer this year for me since I believe I have solved my problem with the gaminess and have figured out how to make it taste like beef. Just might turn into a venison eater after all (maybe).
    Now I have to keep the plants alive and the kritters out of them since something got into them overnight and about ripped them out of the pots so we moved them up to the patio and can now barely walk.
    You are going to have fun girl I dry all my surplus peppers out in the dehydrator or the hang dry method then make blended, non- blended, crushed, powered pepper (that I run threw a coffee grinder... short bursts for crushed and long for powdered) that we can shake ontop of or add into anything that needs that extra little pepper taste. One of Evo's favo is a good dusting of powered/blended/hot peppers into his tunafish sandwich mix

    I apologize for nothing...

    We do not cook ours down before water bath canning. Warming it up just enough to get it hot.

    I like my salsa chunky!

    second batch on the go... same basic ingredients, but doubling the 'hot' peppers, as the last batch was a little mild.

    I typically boil the tomatoes, to break them down, then add everything else, and simmer sill still crisp, I'll add tomato paste at that point to stiffen it up, and then can it for 10 minutes. most store bought chips break trying to scoop!

    I do a good roasted salsa.

    Super easy.

    Grill jalapeƱos (burn them) I usually halve them lengthwise to keep them from falling thru, and de-seed some to control the heat
    Grill quartered tomatoes until they get mushy and have burned skin
    Grill onions, sometimes I don't burn them just to keep the salsa from tasting like grill
    Apple cider vinegar
    Salt
    Add some non-grilled maters

    Blend up and you're good.

    I've added hatch chiles or roasted poblano before as well.

    I like to simmer the tomatoes down a little first:



    Dice up my other ingredients:





    This time I also grilled some corn on the cob, and added that and some black olives...
