Well, finally! I have my first 5 gallon bucket of tomatoes sitting right here beside me! Such a late start with the weather this year, and it's cooling off pretty rapidly...short season and I hope I get all my tomatoes.
So these will sit on newspaper for a few days and then I'll try this recipe this weekend. I'm going to be doing Annie's and another one that uses only my garden stuff (no cans). I've never done salsa before, since my sister used to can salsa for our whole extended family. This year, she had no garden, so I'm on my own.
I'm really hoping that if Annie's is as yummy as you all say it is, I can figure out how to make it in the years to come without canned goods. Hopefully, doing both kinds next week (with canned goods and without) I'll be able to figure out how to change it so that I don't need cans but get the good flavors and textures.
(PS I won't try any big changes without checking with you all first to make sure I'm not canning anything dangerous. LOL)
