I pretty much make the best salsa ever It's true... Just ask my Mom. And my Mom isn't the kind of Mom who would lie. She would tell you how bad it sucked if it wasn't good.
I was surprised that I could fit so many canning supplies in the trunk of a mid-sized sedan like the Chevy Malibu. But about 2 gazillion pounds of fresh fruits and veggies. A few boxes of jars and a only semi-full trunk later I was home and making THE BEST SALSA EVER!!!!
And I made a little video for your enjoyment. It includes the recipe and step by step instructions. But if my voice for some reason makes you want to poke yourself in the ear with an ice pick I have included the instructions below, also.
