How to Make Mouth Watering Salsa

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place 4 large bell peppers (any color) on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
  3. Roast peppers for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the skins are blackened and blistered.
  4. Remove peppers from oven and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins, remove stems, and cut peppers in half. Remove seeds and membranes (optional; leave in for extra heat).
  5. Roughly chop the roasted peppers.
  6. In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped peppers, 1 medium white onion (chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes (undrained), 1 (10 ounce) can diced Rotel tomatoes (undrained), 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  7. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother salsa, process for a longer time. For a chunkier salsa, pulse less.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, sugar, or cumin to your preference.
  9. Transfer salsa to a bowl and serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Refrigeration enhances the flavors. This recipe makes approximately 3 quarts.
