Yep. Most are Roma and make good Pico. I canned up 7 pints of salsa a few days ago. It is pretty tasty but a lot of work.

We have been experimenting with canning pico for a couple of years now. We have really not established a good way to keep the heat. When we open a new jar we just add some fresh jalapeños and it is better. But man it is a lot of chopping. I have tried food processors etc but in the end I like hand chopped the best.
 
I gotta find a new one. Ours retired

Supermarket I go to has the largest meat counter in their district (cue Karl) and the butcher will do some specialty cuts if you ask.

$6.69 a pound from the counter is less than most of the prepackaged stuff

So, I just found a complete 1937 ford front suspension about an hour from here. Came off a running, driving car so fingers crossed it is ok. Going to go get it on Friday morning.
 
Good morning tomato choppin bacon slabbers! Firewood guys just showed up and gettin right at it. I gave them a bag of tomatoes yesterday. we have 2 grape tomato plants. One on the deck probably gave 50 tomatoes so far. One in the garden I'm sure I picked well over 100 and still going strong. Should get at least that again. Plus the regular 'Big Boy' tomatoes are getting ripe -a few every day. I like all kinds of salsa, but fresh onions kill me, plus the acid in the maters...so gotta go easy on that stuff.

I think some of that monsoon stuff found it's way to the beach :eek:. I made a quick run up the street for some smokes and south of here a familiar sight. One of those big black clouds that used to visit us in the desert during monsoon season and yes it had that faint gray curtain of rain beneath it. Looked at the local doppler radar and that confirmed it :lol:.

Salsa
Roma tomatoes
Onions I use a combo of red and green I likes the colors
Garlic finely chopped
Peppers I prefer Anaheims canned Ortegas or fresh and a couple Serranos chopped up for that heat
Cilantro that green weedy lookin' stuff or if you can't find that coriander, exact same stuff but dry
Salt

PS Using Grilled Anaheims is a real taste treat
