How to Make Diner's Freezer Salsa
- Core and roughly chop 10 lbs ripe tomatoes. Pulse in a food processor until coarsely chopped (do not puree).
- Chop 1 cup of fresh cilantro, 1 medium white onion (roughly chopped), and 4 cloves garlic. Add to the chopped tomatoes.
- Finely chop 2-4 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat), and add to a large 10-quart stockpot. (Add 1-2 habaneros for extra heat, if desired).
- Add 2 tablespoons ground cumin, 4 tablespoons salt (adjust to taste), and 1/2 cup white vinegar to the stockpot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce heat to low, maintaining a gentle simmer for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer until the salsa has reduced by about half, concentrating the flavors and removing excess water (approximately 3-4 hours total).
- Allow the salsa to cool slightly.
- Fill 3-cup reusable plastic freezer containers, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top. Let cool completely to prevent condensation and ice crystal formation.
- Seal containers tightly with lids and freeze for up to one year. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
