Salsa recipe from Ball canning, called Fresh Salsa. I had never peeled a tomato before. It wasn't as difficult as I feared. Also managed to have enough garden tomatoes I didn't need the backup store tomatoes! 
Also no cilantro because we all have the cilantro is soap genes over here!
Why would someone downvote you because you genetically don't like cilantro? I'm sorry for your loss. Cilantro is amazing! The salsa looks great.
Haha, I'm not sure why they did! I wish I could eat it, the way people who can describe it makes it sound amazing!
Maybe one day we can take a pill like for lactose intolerant people do for dairy, then have some cilantro, that would be cool!

🤔 I wonder if miraculin tablets would work? Obviously they wouldn't make it taste like it does normally, but it may make it palatable.
I think they would make the rest of the salsa taste...weird. It would be interesting to try and just chew on some cilantro straight up though! That could be fun!
My friend has the cilantro soap gene and she said cilantro paste actually doesn't taste like soap for some reason. Not sure why though.
Just an FYI, when I was younger I had the soap thing too, I have found over time that exposing myself to small doses in my salsa has acclimated me to it? Like I would make a batch and then put a minuscule amount in so I could say I did but still find it palatable - and over time it just got better and better. These days I couldn't live without it, but I still feel like it's an herb that's easy to overdo, like cumin.
Looks good! Don’t forget to remove the ring holding the lids on
Of course! I usually send them with the rings on to gifted people, otherwise they get confused as to how to keep the lids on in the fridge.
Yay! I also learned how to peel tomatoes yesterday lol. I'm just going to can crushed tomatoes though - I'm starting to wish I planned salsa...this looks delicious 😋
This looks really good! Did you use the boil and peel method? Also does the recipe call for any citric? I always want to add corn, black beans or black olives but apparently it throws off the acidity
Yes, boiled for 30~ seconds then into an ice bath then peeled after a bit. It calls for half a cup of vinegar and two tablespoons of lime juice, so that's the acids. And yes, those three would throw off the acidity! I do think I saw a recipe on the Ball website that has corn in it for salsa you might try!
