FREEZER SALSA

Steps:

• Peel tomatoes by cutting a small shallow "X" in the bottom, then placing in boiling water for 45-60 seconds until skin starts to peel back and wrinkle. Remove from boiling water and place into ice bath for 1-2 minutes. Then skin should easily peel off.
• Remove seeds by taking peeled tomatoes, cutting in half along the equator (not through the blossom/stem end) and squeezing over sink or bowl.
• Pulse tomatoes in food processor to roughly chop.
• Dice or chop bell peppers and onions.
• Wearing plastic gloves, cut open the jalapeno peppers longways and scoop out seeds. Then dice finely. (See note)
• Place all ingredients into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 35-45 minutes, depending on how thick you like your salsa. (I like mine thicker, so I simmer for almost the full time.)
• Remove from heat and allow salsa to cool. Ladle into freezer containers or freezer bags. Label containers and place in freezer.
