I have a salsa recipe I am trying to perfect. The ingredients are:
3 Cups of tomatoes
1/4 Cup Green Pepper
1 Cup Onion
2 Tbsp Jalp Pepper
4 Cloves Garlic
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp Cilantro
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
Each time I try to mix these ingredients it comes out very watery. First time I used normal tomatoes and largely hand chopped everything except the tomatoes which I put into food processor.
Second time I used grape tomatoes thinking it would be sweeter and less water content. It was still watery and I simmered it. Tasted more like chili afterwards, but the consistency was better.
And most recently went back to normal tomatoes boiled the vegetable ingredients and peeled tomatoes before processing. Depending much more on food processor. Tasted like salsa but more water again. I am aiming to make it similar to pace salsa with added flavor.
How can I best do this?
Also what is that double boiler thing with inner pot with holes to separate boiling water from ingredients so I don't need to chase everything with a spoon?
