    Salsa made at home is so much better than store bought. I love the simplicity of these recipes, with varied outcomes. I love mine mild, with just a hint of spice, so this is great. The watermelon salsa is so good, too!

    What is Mexican style tomatoes?

    Reply

      May 3, 2020 at 7:06 pm

      Hi Twyla ~ they are basically just stewed tomatoes with some added seasonings and flavors like garlic, cumin, and jalapenos. If you can’t find them at your store, you could just use original stewed tomatoes and add in a bit of garlic powder and ground cumin, and some diced jalapenos if you’d like a little heat. Hope that helps! 🙂

    Hi! I’m wondering if anyone knows the nutritional facts for this recipe. I LOVE this salsa and would like to make a jar for a friend, but she has very restricted caloric intake right now. If it’s healthy enough, she would love a delicious salsa for her otherwise dull diet!! 🙂 Thanks!

    This is great to freeze…just make sure there are no big chunks. I don’t care for cooked, canned salsa and after this thaws it tastes like it was just made!

    You forgot to add the Lime Juice. Add 2 Tbsp of lime juice. Also use Jalepenos either fresh or from the can sliced very small depending upon how how you like it. Experiment with a Tbsp at a time. Use the canned Petite tomatoes instead.

    I’m Canadian…and have no idea what Ro-Tel is for making the
    salsa. Can someone please give me some idea as to what this is.
    Thanks

      Hi Sandy,

      Ro-Tel is a brand of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies added. If you can’t find Ro-Tel, you can just use a 10 oz. can of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies. Hope that helps! 😉

    Hi! I make a similar recipe, except I like mine a little chunky. So I put everything in a pot and simmer it on the stove for a while. It gives it a really good flavor and softens up the onions. Then I just let it cool, put it in jars, and put in the fridge.
    P.s. I love your site Heidi!

    I’m wondering if this recipe can be canned. How would I go about doing that? Would the ingredients need to be boiled before going into the jars for sterilization? Or would the hot water bath do that? Please help! I love this recipe and would like to make it in bulk and can, but I’m a beginner-canner and am not sure. Thanks!

    I make my own salsa with a can chili ready diced tomatoes and a can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with lime juice & cilantro and Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with habaneros ( hot!!) OR Ro-Tel diced tomatoes with green chilies. I add chopped garlic ( I used 2 cloves). The Ro-Tel are the 10 oz size and the chili ready is a 14.5 oz can.

    This sounds fabulous & easy, gonna try it! So few inexpensive ingredients, may have to keep some Ro-Tel a staple. : ) My only suggestion since I too love fresh salsa… try adding some lime. Gives salsa a yummy zing & keeps in fresher longer.
