homemade salsa

There are a few things that taste better than homemade salsa. (other than cheesecake and caramel machiattos, of course).

The secret here, I believe is in getting the freshest tomatoes you can find, and stocking it full of locally grown produce. It’s like a farmer’s brag bag jar.

As you know, I’m reading Animal Vegetable Miracle and have been so very inspired to grow my own food & live off the land. Since that can’t fully happen yet, because well, let’s face it – I live in an apartment. I’ve decided to shop for locally grown foods as much as possible.

But since August was tomato month, it was very easy to get delicious, juicy, red orbs. So many, that I’ve made 9 jars of salsa so far (& counting).

So, I set out to make salsa with this deliciousness.

I mean who can disagree, these things are delicious!

I’m pretty sure I could eat it just like this, not blended, one bit. But just as delicious and colorful.

Into the blender she goes..

that, my friends, is what 4 jars of salsa looks like.

jar it, pose it, photograph it.
