We love tomatoes! Every year, when our tomatoes come in, I make spaghetti sauce, can some of the tomatoes, do sun dried tomatoes with the romas, and make fresh salsa. I usually can the salsa, too. I love making it extremely hot, as it tends to mellow in the canning process. Sometimes, though, the heat just comes right on through. It is not a raw type of hot, but with the canning, it tends to age quite nicely. I keep a crock of salsa going all Summer and Fall. I don't can it until the flavors have had a change to mingle and the raw taste is gone. (about 3-4 days)

Chiltepin salsa is one of the defining elements of Sonoran food because the bushes that produce the chiles grow wild in parts of Southern Arizona and aren't common to other regions. This is an all-purpose salsa that can be used for dipping, for seasoning, and as a taco sauce. A little goes a long way, so if you prefer a milder salsa, cut the amount of chiles down by a half or a third. Chiltepica is a local Tucson company that sells their chiltepin online. This recipe is from the Taste of Tucson cookbook by Jackie Alpers.
