Not everyone likes the fresh (translate=raw) taste. The salsa I make is a hybrid ... pardon the play on word ... I use a good quality brand of canned chopped tomatoes, putting some of them into the blender with bell pepper, fresh jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, green onions, salt, pepper and dry oregano and blend-chop them together. When that is the way I like, I stir the blended ingredients into the remaining canned tomatoes. It's best of made an hour or so ahead to let the flavors can marry and mellow. My family enjoys it. |
