How To Can Roasted Tomatillos Food

ROASTED TOMATILLO OR GREEN TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place tomatillos or green tomatoes in a large roasting pan. Add chilies, onion, garlic and mix.
• Roast vegetables for 30-35 minutes, stirring at the halfway mark, until the tomatillos/tomatoes are starting to break down.
• Scrape the roasted vegetables into a large stockpot and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes. While simmering, prepare water bath canner, lids & 4 pint or 8 half-pint jars if planning to can (wash freezer-safe jars or containers for freezing, or use freezer baggies)
• Blend the salsa further, if desired, with an immersion blender and the ladle into prepared jars leaving 1/2-inch headspace for canning (you'll need a good 1+ inch headspace for freezing to account for expansion).
• To Can: Wipe rims, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes, turn off burner, remove lid and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove jars to a cloth-lined surface and let cool 12-24 hours before testing the seals, labeling, and storing for up to a year.
• To Freeze: let salsa cool and then transfer to clean freezer containers. Label and freeze for a year.

• Transfer the tomatillos, poblano chiles, onion, and garlic to a food processor or blender, and pulse a few times to roughly chop the vegetables.
• Add the cilantro, lime juice, and cumin, and continue to pulse to form a chunky puree.

SALSA VERDE RECIPE FOR CANNING

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients in a large stockpot and bring to a simmer on the stove. Simmer for 20 minutes to an hour to allow the tomatillos to break down and flavors to meld. Taste and adjust salt accordingly. 2. Ladle sauce into prepared pint mason jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace, and process in a water bath canner for 15 minutes for pints. (Adjust for altitude) 3. Remove from the canner and allow to cool at room temperature before checking seals to make sure all jars have properly sealed. Place any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use.

TOMATILLO SALSA RECIPE FOR CANNING

Steps:

• You will need to prep the tomatillo by taking off the husk and then washing. Don't worry about peeling or seeding them.
• Prep the peppers. At this point, make sure you are wearing hand protection. Chop the chilies finely. If you are noticing that the skin of the chilies are tough you can heat them up in the oven until the skin starts to blister- usually about 6 minutes at 400 degrees. To make peeling the skin easier, place the chilies in a pot and cover with a damp cloth. Let them cool and the skins should slide right off.
• There is no need to peel the jalapeño peppers. If you are looking to decrease the spiciness you can remove the seeds.
• You can finely chop all of your ingredients or you can process them in a food processor.
• In a large stock pot add the chopped tomatillos, chopped chilies, chopped jalapenos, chopped onions, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Keep stirring periodically.
• Now you are ready to put the salsa in the pint jars.
• Ladle the hot salsa mixture into clean and sanitized pint mason jars.
• Make sure to leave about 1/2 inch space at the top of the jar. Remove all of the air bubbles (gently tap the jars on a thick towel set on your counter to help them come to the surface) and wipe the mouths of the jars with a clean, damp cloth.
• Apply the two part lid and screw the ring or band on.
• Place the jars in a water bath canner filled half way with hot tap water. Once all of the jars are in the canner, fill the canner up with more hot water until the water is 1 to 2 inches over the top of the jars.
• Bring the canner to a boil. Once the water is fully boiling, boil for 15 minutes (see notes on altitude adjustments).
• Once the 15 minutes has passed, turn the heat off your canner. When the water stops boiling, remove the hot jars from the water and place them on a cutting board or on a thick towel (taking care not to bump them together when setting them down) to cool.
• Once cooled, remove the rings for storage, write what's in the jar and the date on the top of the lid, and store for up to a year on the shelf (they'll last longer than that but a year is ideal).
