This is my fourth year making this recipe, it is always delicious, maybe the person who said it is bland used crappy ingredients? Season to your liking before you can it.

That said, there is no need for it, it's perfectly tasty without. You might want to bump up another ingredient, like peppers or onions, or substitute zucchini, to take the place of the bulk you will remove by leaving out the celery. This is what I would do, but you must decide what will be best for you. Your decision. :-) Enjoy.<br />ecbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884174050027125954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375817671175347765.post-37342157813878145552016-09-26T17:44:54.868-07:002016-09-26T17:44:54.868-07:00Any answer to leaving the celery out??Any answer to leaving the celery out??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375817671175347765.post-42225524557008513292016-09-12T09:27:19.675-07:002016-09-12T09:27:19.675-07:00made this recipe yesterday and halved it.

I...Made this yesterday with 40lbs of Roma tomatoes. I guess that made a slight difference in the amount b/c I only ended up with 33 pints, but the salsa was VERY good. I had a 35 quart stock pot and all of this fit into that one pot which was great! I followed the recipe exactly like it said and use the lesser amount of the sugar and the greater amount of salt. I thought the final product was by far the best salsa I have ever canned and this is about the 5th different recipe I have tried. I don't know if roma tomatoes are just a tougher tomato, but half way thru the boiling it down I decided my tomatoes were too big and I got out what I would and blended it and poured them back in. The consistency was slightly more runny than bottled salsa so I probably should have reduced it another hour since it was all together in one pot instead of two. Overall I have to say this is my number one salsa recipe!

I d...This is simmering on the stove as I type this. I didn't have 40 lbs of tomatoes so I did 1/3 of every thing. Even dividing every thing by 3 filled my large stock pot to overflowing. I had to wait for the tomatoes to reduce down before I could add the peppers and onions. Let me tell you though! The smell coming from that kitchen is something to be jealous of! I am an inpatient person so after the tomatoes broke down and the salsa started to thicken I took a small ladle out and let it cool. It needs to be said that this is far better than the authentic homemade salsa we get at the local Mexican restaurant. I'm pinning this one and using it every year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681805159749924309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375817671175347765.post-4864200165687694662015-08-10T17:05:54.729-07:002015-08-10T17:05:54.729-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681805159749924309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375817671175347765.post-60469464577449024852015-07-01T10:43:44.793-07:002015-07-01T10:43:44.793-07:00Can I use bottled lemon juice or does it need to b...Can I use bottled lemon juice or does it need to be fresh squeezed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1375817671175347765.post-90586168023173682912014-12-17T10:46:17.838-08:002014-12-17T10:46:17.838-08:00How long does the salsa stay good once it's ca...How long does the salsa stay good once it's canned?Brandy Vnoreply@blogger.com
