Home made is best, but I certainly keep some jars of the commercial stuff around, I admit it.
When we did the favorite mustard, there was a clear favorite among us. Is the same true for salsa?
For a long time, my favorite was La Victoria Thick and Chunky in the medium heat. My favorite the last few years is Arriba! Fire Roasted Red Salsa, also in the medium heat. They make a good green one too.

For a while, Costco was carrying a 2 quart jug of the Arriba red salsa. I picked up a few jugs at the time, but I'm about out now. Costco switched back to Pace. Yuck.
Pace is way too salty and runny.
