Mexican Style Hot Saucehot sauce 1 can (28 oz) whole tomatoes 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste 3 to 4 green onions, finely 1 chopped 1/2 medium bell pepper, diced 4 jalapeno peppers from a can 1 or bottle, finely chopped 1 (use gloves!) 3 tablespoon juice from jalapeno 1 can/bottle 1/2 oz tabasco sauce 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper 3/4 cup cold water 1. Pour the can of whole tomatoes into a large bowl, along with their juice. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces. 2. Add all the other ingredients, blending well. Store in a glass container in the refrigerator. You must use glass because the acid in the peppers will react with metal or plastic. Makes about 6 cups.

Substitute equivalent amount of FRESH tomatoes for canned tomatoes. Remove skin from tomato if you like. I used beefsteak tomatoes from my garden and they made this recipe simply delicious! 2. Substitute fresh jalapenos for canned/bottled. You will still need juice from canned/bottled jalapenos though. 3. Omit the 3/4 cup water, especially if using FRESH tomatoes. 4. Give the salsa extra pizzazz by adding more jalapeno, crushed pepper and/or tabasco. |
