OK, if that's what you like, then make it that way.

I just chucked to myself as I saw posts about peppers and knew jencum would be along to be a dick. Didn't take much scrolling!

 

[Jehannum]

But no beans.

Asshole.

That's not salsa, dipshit.

Debate proportions, not ingredients. Keep your corn and your beans out.

I could make salsa with bubblegum and grape juice, but if I called it salsa, I'd deserve every bit of mockery I got for it.

Who am I to judge? I make guac with jarred garlic, and I like it.

 

[HipHugHer]

How much peppers depends on how hot you want it but the other main ingredient should be tomatillos.

I use garlic powder.

Got a big ole pot of peeled garden tomatoes simmering on the stove.

Gonna be pasta sauce when we’re done with it.

 

[Domon]

pasta sauce is one of those things that is just so much resources and effort for so little sauce.

That's why you grow sauce tomatoes like Romas.

Yeah, they cook down, but not as bad as big boys or heirlooms.

I love turning garden tomatoes into sauce (and a lot of my tomatoes get turned into sauce and then canned at the end of the season), it tastes a lot different than when I make my sauce from commercial canned products.

some tomatoes are easier for sauce than others the tomatoes we get here are a bit tough so need to cook longer

heh, I have a sauce mill that does the job. Just boil the tomatoes, remove the skin, and then stick 'em in the mill, and cook the results down to the consistency you desire.

We used primarily Early Girls and Celebrities, with some other randos thrown in too.

sauce mill is great, but its still (even with romas) a crazy ratio of starting to endning ingredients.

its usually 2 pounds of tomatoes per cup of sauce.
