I roast everything on a comal. Then I throw in blender add salt to taste. Chop in some cilantro and can. Because my cilantro does really well in the fall, I've canned the salsa without it and add it when I open a jar. The tomatoes are usually a mix of heirlooms that I picked that day. One time I used more japanese black triefle in the mix and this was our favorite jar. I read the recipe in the ball canning book and it just seemed to complicated for me. I decided to do it the way I was taught by my grandmother. Much more simple.
Hey Mary, it's about time you chimed in! Look at you, posting pictures like a pro! That's a very delicious picture too, look at the steam coming off the tomatoes, makes me hungry for fresh salsa...
