With fresh ingredients available from the garden and a food processor, it is easy to whip up a batch of homemade fresh salsa. This is my simple go to recipe.

I usually fill one-pint jar and a small bowl and refrigerate. This will last for a while in the fridge although I have to say it doesn’t last very long in our house. But it is easy to make another fresh batch as needed.

Note: This is not a safe canning recipe. Please check out this recipe for canning salsa: Tomato Salsa Recipe for Canning

    Would this Garden Fresh Salsa freeze well. Should any of the ingredients need to be left out and added when thawed ?

      Yes, this salsa freezes very well. If you store it flat in zipper freezer bags, you can break off pieces and thaw as you need it.
