homemade salsa
(1)
Back when I lived in Indiana, I had a HUGE garden and one year grew way too many tomatoes! I made tomato EVERYTHING! Including homemade salsa! I couldn't believe how truely easy it was and have never bought another jar since! In the summer I made it using fresh tomatoes straight from the garden, and in the winter I made them from my homemade stewed tomatoes. So you can use either one.
