Our final batch of salsa that we canned for the year, Chunky Peach Salsa, was definitely\u00a0our best.\u00a0 And maybe that is because after canning\u00a03 other batches we learned a couple things.<\/p>\n

One thing we learned was not to cook the peaches very long or they got lost amongst the tomatoes.\u00a0 Basically we now just add the peaches to the salsa right before we\u2019re ready to start canning.<\/p>\n

\"peach <\/p>\n

Second was that if you don\u2019t want to add tomato paste to thicken the salsa then you\u2019ll have to cook it for a long time.\u00a0 This could mean simmering the salsa for 1-2 hours\u2026.<\/p>\n

So our final canning session for\u00a0salsa leaves us with a total of 56 pints of 4 different kinds of salsa (including the homegrown salsa<\/a> I wrote about earlier this week). \u00a0And while 56 pints\u00a0may seem like a lot it\u2019s essentially 1 pint a week for the next year with 4 extra for sharing or larger eating events.\u00a0 Yes, we eat a lot of salsa.\u00a0 Well, my family eats a good amount of it, but without me around they\u2019d likely only need about 20 pints for the year.<\/p>\n

A single batch will likely produce 9-11 pints, but results will vary based on the variety of tomatoes used and how long they are cooked down.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I got at St. Jacob’s Market here north of Waterloo in late August, to make a quadruple batch:<\/p>\n
