I am making some of my famous hot salsa and thought I would share the recipe. I use all organic vegetables and it tastes better than any "hot sauce" you can find out there.
Picante Sauce
28 oz Can of Crushed Tomato
6 tbls White Vinegar or Jalapeno Juice
1 lrg White Onion
2 tbls Dried Minced Onion
3-9 Jalapeno Peppers (3 is mild, 6 is medium, 9-12 is hot)
1 tbls Salt
1 tbls Garlic Powder
3.5 cups Water (one 28 oz can full)
Pulse the onion and jalapenos in the food processor until finely chopped (or cut by hand if you are brave). Mix all of the ingredients into a large pot (with a cover where it is not completely covered or splatter screen if it starts to splatter). Bring to a boil (high). Reduce to simmer (a little below medium) until desired thickness (about 30 - 40 minutes).
Chill before serving!

:P :P :P :P Yummy.....
I don't like the salsas with the giant chunks of green pepper in them, so thanks, this one sounds great.

This sounds like a good recipe - I love salsa - but never tried making it at home.
I think it's ok to eat salsa - There is no chance it will cause me to support illegal immigration! ;)

Let me ask you something Jeffguy. The recipe sounds delicious. But what will you eat all that salsa with, if not tortilla chips, which are *not* healthy?

Sure, I eat it on tortilla chips and on nachos. But I also eat it on on main dishes, salads, burritos, pitas, sandwiches, beans, eggs, and even cook with it sometimes. It's really healthy to use instead of salad dressing.
I perfected this recipe over many years and with a lot of help from friends, family, and lot of taste-testers. :)

Sounds like it would make an excellent salsa to me. And your recommended uses for the salsa also sounds interesting. At the the prices that the store bought salsa's sell for Jeffguy's recipe is a big money saver and even more important when made at home you know what your getting. I never considered the fact that tortilla chips were unhealthy they seem like they are a very good snack.

They are fatty because they are fried.
Sometimes I eat a whole large bag of them with salsa. It seems like a meal because the salsa is healthy. Eating the whole jar of salsa is very healthy. But the chips are not healthy.
They are probably ok in moderation and they sure do taste good.

Here you can get organic tortilla chips that aren't fried and are made of some sort of corn product...... there are always healthier options for most things.
I quite like dipping celery sticks in salsa or in homous.

Yum! I love love love picante sauce and eat it with more meals than you could imagine! I will have to try your recipe. :)

Trust me... you won't regret it!
