Can you “can” this to preserve for later use?
Hi Barbara! I believe it would need to be a cooked type salsa recipe for canning. Something like this one. Here’s another interesting article. The salsa I made is more of a quick – fresh type salsa.
Enjoyed your demos on QVC. We just received our new 9 cup processor and will be making salsa tomorrow and possibly pie dough.
Thanks for watching Robert! Let me know if you have any questions!
Made my first salsa – very fresh tasting. Followed your recipe but seems to be missing something when I think of the taste from our local Mexican restaurant. Thanks for your help. Bob
Hi Robert –
Thanks so much for reaching out! Yes, this recipe is a tasty and easy basic salsa and great starting point for tweaking! Sometimes I like to add extra lime juice and salt. You can also play with adding different pepper/chilies! Of course, the time of year and flavor of the tomatoes has a lot to do with the taste as well. Take care!
Thanks Tina – I’ll try tweaking it. I made a banana/blueberry smoothie tonight. I added small ice cubes at the end. My wife said I really shouldn’t put ice in the food processor. Thought I better ask the pro.
Hi Robert – So, the official use and care guide says not to process anything so hard, you can’t pierce it with the tip of a sharp knife. I think ice cubes would fall into that category. I have processed frozen fruit, which doesn’t get quite as hard as ice cubes, but still may work to add some chill to your smoothie! Here I make a “frozen yogurt” with frozen banana and pineapple. Take care!
Thanks. Making cucumber salad this afternoon.
Enjoy Robert!
Rave reviews on my cucumber salad with red onion, red bell peppers, feta cheese, chic peas and red blush wine salad dressing. Making your Italian chicken salad next…
Glad everyone enjoyed you salad Robert! Take care of yourself! ( :
