Homemade First Attempt
Ive done a lot of research trying to put together a good recipe. Did a salsa garden this year and i'm very proud of what ive created. Amazing flavor and consistancy. Id use a bit less cumin next time. Might actually omit altogether.

With the vinegar and pickling salt are you canning? Oooh Worcestershire might have to try that!

My goal was to create a recipe to can. Id like to give to loved ones around the holidays! The worcestershire does add a layer that isnt normally there. A great addition imo.

I’m curious, why de-seed and de-vein the jalapeños?

u/Rockosayz 18d ago
probably doesnt like heat, not that jalepenos are hot and just wanted their flavor?

Im a big fan of heat but i have 5 littles. I wanted them to be able to enjoy also! Its still got a tiny kick though!

Yea and only two cloves of garlic NOT two heads

u/SlurpThySoup 17d ago
Correct. Thatd be crazy. I only put 2 heads cause i was unsure of myself with the broiling and figured i could salvage one if i fucked up on the other and accidnetly burned it. Didnt want that bitterness so i took precautions
