STOCKPILE SALAD SALSA -

Here is a recipe I made today, I took my inspiration from two recipes, 1 being the Green Tomato Salsa I made the other day, and one being Bread N Butter Cucumber Pickles.....so here is the recipe...

STOCKPILE SALAD SALSA

8 lb green tomatoes, chopped in the whizzer
4 red capsicum, diced
4 green capsicum, diced
1 kg carrots diced...(see below for my quick way to roughly dice carrots)
1 kg onions, chopped in the whizzer


After slicing my carrots throught the V-Slicer I then lay them on the chopping board and cut with a knife.


9 tablespoons salt....sprinkle this over the above engredients, stir and leave for 24 hours.



After the 24 hours of salting, drain the above mix, then rinse, draining again....




In a large boiler add the following:

2 Litres of white vinegar
3/4 tspn turmeric
9 tblspns of mustard seeds ( 130g)
6 tspns celery seeds
3/4 tspn cayenne pepper
4 1/2 lb white sugar

Boil together the above engredients. Then add salsa mix and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Avoid a hard boil. Pack in sterilised jars and seal immediately. Enjoy in one week.





























I am thinking this will be a lovely salad salsa, or even added to cooked pasta as another salad dish. It has a lovely flavour.



I still have more tomatoes left....but no more preserving now, until next week, I'm having the weekend off, and going fishing with my other half......Hope you all have a great weekend.
See you back here on Monday, unless I check in before hand
