ISO Easy Salsa and Chili Sauce Recipes

[Trip]

This year I am putting a ton of tomatoes into my garden and am going to try my hand, only did once before and didnt turn out right (also didn't know had to wear gloves to dice jalepeno peppers and spent the night with my hands wrapped in wet towels). If anyone has some good and EASY recipes (or at least some where the terminology is understandable, never called my mom so often in my life), it would be appreciated.

Salsa is easy to make - I assume you are talking about "canning" some salsa? You really might want to spend a little time exploring the information at the National Center for Food Preservation website.

I have DOZENS of salsa recipes, but must say that I've never canned any of them. I'm NOT a canner. I have, however, frozen quite a few of them, & have had them thaw out wonderfully. Obviously the texture isn't always quite the same if you like "chunky" style, but a few quick additions of a little fresh-chopped onion & tomato makes everything right. If you like a smoother salsa, you needn't do a thing.
