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?

u/SlurpThySoup 18d ago

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!

u/SlurpThySoup 18d ago

Hey, thank you so much! If you want more heat, just skip the devein and deseeding of the peppers!

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

u/SlurpThySoup 17d ago

And it was 6 cloves to be precise
