Smoked salsa
Smoked most of the ingredients for smoked salsa including salt. Started Christmas presents.

Re: Smoked salsa
I do it every year EH. I grow Roma Tomatoes for this. I grow my own Jalapeño and Onions to go with it. I’ll slice the Roma’s and jalapeños in half and fill up 2 large aluminum pans. Place them in the stick burner at about 225 and let her roll for about 3-4 hours. I run the tomatoes through my meat grinder, peel and all: the jalapeños and onions I dice finely by hand; if you put those 2 in a blender, food processor, or grinder they turn to mush. Garlic, Salt, to your preference. I chop 2 cups of fresh “ Cilantro Leaves “, no stems. Bring it all to a boil, can, and water bath.

Re: Smoked salsa
I prefer Pecan for this but whatever you prefer. One other tip if you don’t have Fresh Home Grown Tomatoes; Walmart has “ Roasted, Salsa Tomatoes “. They work well in this application and much easier than messing with fresh tomatoes. You can pour them in an Aluminum pan and smoke.

Re: Smoked salsa
I’ve been adjusting this recipe for a while and I’m pretty happy with it. I used mesquite this time for smoke but have used oak as well. I use cold smoke with an A-maze-n tube.
Ingredients
1 chopped medium smoked onion
1 chopped smoked jalapeño (seeded)
4 cloves chopped smoked garlic
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup chicken stock
1 can of tomatoes (14-1/2 oz)
1 Tbs smoked ancho powder
1 tsp smoked guajillo powder
1 Tbs Mexican oregano
1 tsp cumin
Smoked salt to taste
Juice of a lime
Extra Chopped smoked onion and tomatoes added after blending.
About 10 days ago I stemmed, seeded, and smoked a bunch of ancho and guajillo chiles. Then I put them through a coffee grinder to make the smoked powder.
Process:
Chop the onion and jalapeño and sauté about 5 minutes
Add the chopped garlic and sauté another minute
Add all the rest of the ingredients with the exception of the lime juice and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes. Salsa will thicken during simmering.
Blend salsa and add the lime juice. Add about a 1/4 cup of chopped smoked onion and a 1/4 cup of chopped smoked tomato to each pint jar that have been sterilized, then fill with the blended salsa. Process the jars in boiling water.
I’m not a fan of extra heat, but it can be added with Chipotle powder or cayenne.
