Roma tomatoes work find in this recipe.  You can also use cherry tomatoes (skip the peeling and de-seeding and just give them a quick buzz in your food processor to get your desired consistency).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>bell peppers<\/strong>: I use green for the extra color, but you can use red bell peppers here if you&#8217;ve got them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>onions<\/strong>: I use yellow onions, but white onions will also work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>jalape\u00f1o peppers<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>canned tomato paste<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>can of condensed tomato soup<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>vinegar<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>lime juice<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>sugar<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>garlic salt<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>garlic powder<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>cayenne pepper<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like to really bring the heat, feel free to add in other varieties of hot peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things about doing a cooked salsa to freeze rather than can is that you do not have to adhere to any specific acidity levels or ingredient ratios for safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: This fresh salsa recipe makes a fairly big batch (about 10 cups worth) so you&#8217;ll need to plan accordingly for large pot and bowl sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image793_679399-0b .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image793_679399-0b size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FreezerSalsa_Portrait4.jpg\" alt=\"Freezer Salsa From Side\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FreezerSalsa_Portrait4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FreezerSalsa_Portrait4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FreezerSalsa_Portrait4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FreezerSalsa_Portrait4-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FreezerSalsa_Portrait4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FreezerSalsa_Portrait4-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.makeaheadmealmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/FreezerSalsa_Portrait4-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading793_aada04-8c, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading793_aada04-8c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading793_aada04-8c\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading793_aada04-8c mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading793_aada04-8c[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading793_aada04-8c\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading793_aada04-8c wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading793_aada04-8c\">Making Your Easy Freezer Salsa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For this easy salsa recipe, you&#8217;ll start by peeling and de-seeding your tomatoes if you are using fresh ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s an extra step (or five&#8230;), the easiest way to peel your tomatoes is with the &#8220;blanch into ice bath&#8221; method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to get started, fill a large pot or Dutch oven 2\/3 full of water (at least a few inches deep) and heat it over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. (Blanching the tomato quickly in boiling water helps to separate the skin from the flesh and make it easier to peel off.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the water is coming to a boil, fill a large bowl with several inches of water and a few cups of ice to form an ice bath.

Better than the jarred stuff. In fact, you likely will not even be able to tell it was ever frozen to begin with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, once your salsa has cooled to room temperature, you can divide it into individual servings, smaller batches for recipes, or keep it in a few larger batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have recipes that only call for a tablespoon or two of salsa, you can freeze your salsa in ice cube trays and then once frozen, pop the frozen salsa cubes out and put them in a freezer bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For smaller batches, I prefer to use a small freezer-safe container. Fill your freezer container mostly full but leave a small amount of headspace for expansion when freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For larger batches, I like to use a freezer bag.  They are easier to store and often take up less freezer space than rigid plastic containers.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kt-info-box793_953e5a-fb .kt-blocks-info-box-link-wrap{border-top:5px solid

However, for the best flavor and texture, you&#8217;ll want to use it within 3 to 4 months.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1699403724289\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I thaw frozen salsa?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">To thaw your frozen salsa, transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. This gradual process helps to maintain texture and flavor. Avoid thawing it on the countertop as it can lead to bacterial growth.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1699403823342\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I refreeze salsa after thawing?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I don&#8217;t recommend refreezing the salsa once it has been thawed. Each time your freeze and thaw the salsa, it will affect the texture and taste. It&#8217;s best to portion your salsa into small containers or freezer bags before freezing to that you can thaw only what you need.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The original recipe for this
