Question becky your recipe has garlic mentioned twice 8 gloves of of garlic and 4 garlic cloves lol are you missing something or was it just typed twice?

[@scarletblazze]

Becky, chew gum when you are dealing with onions and you will never cry from onions again!! My friend told me that and when I tried it, I was astonished at how it actually worked! It's like magic!!!

[@susiesalazar7360]

Team Cilantro!! Thank you for sharing.

[@kellyf5190]

Thank you for the salsa recipe! Is there a way to print your recipes? I don't see a print button.

[@pamelac3940]

The recipe lists tomatillos instead of tomatoes :)

[@lynnyarnold4422]

Becky and friends, gotta tell you I found the photo carrier/seed saver cases at Michael's this morning. On sale for $14.99. Bought three and will work on organizing my seeds the next few days. Hope this helps someone!

[@happymama6324]

Thank you!

[@avaloncar18]

Yup I’m gonna buy!

Thank you❣🙆‍♀️

[@Tangwystyl]

I bought those cases years ago to organize pictures and negatives, and never got around to it. Honestly, they sat empty for 5 plus years haha. Last year I started using them for my seeds. They are so perfect for seeds!! You will love them! :)

[@roxannhatch491]

Seeing Gizmo made my heart happy! Growing onions is my goal this year so I can do the same homegrown salsa. I am firmly in the no cilantro camp!

[@Akforgetmenot]

Thank you! Always great information!

[@yankeebabe_01]

Thanks for all the great tips!

[@Sarah-js6pi]

Aww Gizmo!! ❤️❤️ sending lots of love as I’m sure it was very hard to edit this video❤️❤️

[@sandraruiz4882]

I'm with you on the Cilantro!!!! I love it... I have grown it for more than 30 years now... I plant it thicker than what the package says to plant... I also let it go to seed at the end of the growing season... I also have some growing in my kitchen so that I have it anytime I need some... Adding oregano can give you a little bit more variety to your salsa too... I have added it when I open a new jar and still got the same results as when I canned with it... You are truly a blessing to watch. I love seeing the younger generation carrying on the tradition of preservation...

[@comenterrimcd2571]

thanks for all your hard work!

Dehydrated or freeze dried tomato powder is awesome for thickening your salsa and sauces. You do not lose the fresh tomato taste. You enhance it.

Looks great! Thanks for the recipe!

[@wishiwuzahomestead6338]

I love cilantro!! The more the better! I've never put lemon juice or vinegar in salsa. We use lime juice. It's sooo good!!

[@lanak.fromnewmexico1143]

I use lime juice also. I've always used it in my homemade pico de gayo, so I started using it for my salsa. Love it!

[@rik80280]

Yes! My recipe actually uses half lime and half vinegar and I think it’s perfect. I also like the Santa Cruz lime juice.

[@cynrok]

Yes I've never seen salsa with lemon, it's odd. Lime is the standard

[@lanak.fromnewmexico1143]

@Julie Phillips yep. I've been using it for years. It's more acidic than lemon juice and has a better flavor than lemon because you can taste more of the natural other salsa flavors. With lemon sometimes that's all you can taste. 😉

[@LittleBitOfSunshine4u]

I use fresh mayer lemon juice a lot with cilantro. I actually bought a tree a few months ago! It's a baby so hopefully it will flower in 2023.

[@kimr4005]

Love your channel. You may already know this. When canning and following recipe it is best to leave the liquid in the recipe. If the contents are too think the heat can not penetrate to the center and may cause problems. Bacteria growth, failed seals etc.

[@marygallagher3428]

Yes! Also, the required acid she added was liquid lemon juice, part of which she then strained off before canning the salsa. This could result, I believe, in making the salsa not acidic enough to safely can.

[@jenniferr2057]

Yep. All that million dollar acid went into the jars of juice. Ratios disrupted!

[@lisabrooksmoore8742]

You explain everything very well.

[@amymarie6724]

[@drafting2008]

Oh Gizmo! ❤ he definitely is a special guest I cant wait to have a fully functioning garden this year. I have my seeds ready and planned out. Growing tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, butternut squash, spaghetti squash, provider beans, and carrots. Becky you have inspired me to go outside my comfort zone this year!

[@LittleBitOfSunshine4u]

My local nursery just told me we don't grow good tomatoes down here because of a fly issue. What?!! They recommended I just buy tomatoes this year.

[@drafting2008]

@@LittleBitOfSunshine4u what zone are you in? I'm in 6ab, and I deal with Japanese bettles, aphids and tomatoe flies as well. You can try need oil or garlic spray. Or using marigold, garlic, mint and cilantro as deterrent.

[@LittleBitOfSunshine4u]

Thank you Jennifer! I'm in 9b. I'm going to try to grow them despite their warning and I'll use your tips.

I just found your channel a week ago and binge watched so many canning, gardening, and cooking videos! You are so amazing. I just did freezer meals last weekend for my gluten/dairy free family and oh my! 20 different meals and breakfast for the next two weeks. It was so fun. I feel much better with college starting in a week and having to get my garden layout figured out. Thank you for some awesome videos!

[@LillybugFarm]

Thank you for sharing. This is my first time watching your channel. I'm a cilantro lover, as well. Using lemon juice in salsa instead of vinegar makes a lot of since. Canning the excess liquid is a brilliant idea. I imagine it would make a wonderful base for tortilla soup.

Congrats for putting together an almost entirely home-grown salsa! That's an achievement, for sure. Totally with you on the addition of spices like cumin ~ it's really better to taste and see if you like it or need it.

[@esthernelson4894]

[@amandalaren4359]

Make sure you don’t overtighten your jars - the lids can get really wonky and fail to seal (they indent oddly) if they are. Just in case that happens that’s why! I usually twist them on just with the tips of my fingers so that I know they aren’t too tight. that way the air can escape during the processing like it should.

[@simplygrand11]

I stopped peeling my tomatoes a few years ago. The best thing i ever decided to do. Changed me from dredding it to enjoying it! I notice no difference and maybe even gain some nutrients 🙂

[@adamkelly4990]

I absolutely enjoy watching your videos! You have things so put together, thought through and are so organized! Love it! This looks like a great recipe to try. QUESTION: I have a glass flat top stove too. I noticed the canner you use. Those aren’t recommended for glass top from what I remember because of the design of the bottom, however, I wanted to know if you yourself have ever had any issues? I love the design of them but was nervous to use that type because of having a glass top and not gas. So I always use my steam canner or pressure cooker pot as a water bath. I trust your judgement! 🙂

[@robinmc0628]

Thank you Acre Homestead! Another great salsa recipe! I love that canning book. I do have to ask, if you only use the veggies and keep the salsa chunky, and you're not using the juice, does that change the acidity of the jar and negative precise measurements? I'm a new canner and I've worried about this myself. Thanks!

[@marygallagher3428]

Good point! I think you are correct that it would change the acidity of the canned salsa, making this recipe unsafe.

[@jenniferr2057]

Yes... Technically, you are not to change any ratios to stay strictly safe. Make it and can it as written. If you want it thickened later, you could add some powdered tomato.,....

[@robinmc0628]

@@jenniferr2057 very helpful. Thank you. I'm going now to find the official Ball recipe for another recipe I made.

[@m.walker7907]

Never used lemon juice.Is it TART?

[@m.walker7907]

I wouldn't strain,Canning thins down salsa.While water bath canning does not thin it down.pressure canning Cooks It MORE.& ITS more Thinner.Since it was chunky,& u wanted it with no liquid...You can add Tomatoes paste to thicken.You could use an immersion blender to make smoother...Instead of removing the liquid,Which changes the PH balance...... That's lots of lemon juice,But then vinegar gets more twangy as it Sets...if too Twangy after opening,Add sugar to cut the twang. ...

[@pamelac3940]

Isn't it a food safety issue if you're straining the salsa? If you're draining out the liquid with lemon juice you won't have enough ratio of lemon juice : non-acidic ingredients in each jar I think. Better to bottle with the liquid distributed into the salsa then drain each jar before using/serving if needed. Also FYI the recipe ingredients list seems to have an error - it says 10c cored tomatillos not tomatoes :)

[@AuntJennyMarie]

You are correct, straining the liquid changed the proportions where it is no longer an approved recipe. Water bathing salsa in quart jars is not an approved method either. Newbies should not follow this example.

[@pamelac3940]

@@AuntJennyMarie Yeah, definitely yikes. Becky, hope you will advise your viewers about this. Would hate to think about you or one of your viewers getting sick from this since the recipe isn't safe if canned without the acidifying liquid

[@marandasmith4158]

That is my thoughts too. If you don't want the juice in the salsa you should either... 1. Strain tomatoes before measuring in the beginning 2. Cook down the tomatoes then add in the rest of the ingredients when the tomatoes are less soupy 3. Add in the tomato paste to help thicken it according to measurements in recipe On a side note, I can't have cilantro. I am allergic. It bums my husband when I don't use it. But I surprise him putting it I'm fresh for him when we are going to eat it (of course is a separate bowl from mine)

[@pamelac3940]

@@marandasmith4158 Yep! I typically *lightly* strain tomatoes before making preserves with them. If I make salsa and it ends up soupier than I want, it's easy to just drain off a bit of the liquid when you open the jar. You could even preserve the liquid in the fridge if you wanted. Totally safe to do it this way unlike the method in the video.

[@ashleynicole4547]

I am very much a newbie and this was the exact question I was looking for. I agree that I don’t like too liquidy salsa but my concern was the liquid was partially from the lemon juice and I thought that’s what’s needed to keep it safe?
