Authentic Mexico Garden Fresh Salsahot Sauce Recipes

HOMEMADE RED HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the arbol peppers, guajillo peppers, and garlic in a saucepan with the water. Turn the heat to high, and once the water starts boiling, turn the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft. Due to the fumes, the peppers will give off, make sure your windows are open or turn on the exhaust fan.
• Remove saucepan from heat and allow to drop to room temperature. Once it has cooled, place the peppers, garlic, spices, dried herbs, vinegar, and one cup of the cooking water into a blender. Puree until you have a very fine texture.
• Pour this mixture into a glass container using a strainer, to remove any pieces of pepper skins left.
• Pour the mixture into the saucepan again, turn to medium-high heat, and gently simmer for about 5 minutes. This is just enough time to reduce the salsa to the desired consistency and allow the spices' flavors to blend. Again, don't forget to have the windows open and/or the kitchen exhaust fan on.
• Allow cooling. Pour the sauce into a sterilized bottle and secure with an airtight cap or lid.
• You can use this sauce immediately, although the flavors will be better about two weeks later. This sauce can last stored in your refrigerator for about 6 months. Enjoy!

AUTHENTIC MEXICO GARDEN FRESH SALSA/HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Boil Tomatoes & Jalapeños in large pot of water until tomato skins wrinkle.
• Remove Tomatoes & Jalapeños from water and carefully remove tomato skins. Discard skins.
• Remove stems from Jalapeños and depending on desired level of heat desired, you may remove some or all of the seeds and pods inside the peppers.
• Place Tomatoes and Jalapenos into VitaMix or Blender.
• Add crushed Garlic Cloves, Cilantro Leaves, Quartered Onion, Ground Cumin (Comino) to VitaMix or Blender.
• Briefly pulse ingredients until desired consistency. Do not liquefy, but blend smoother than typical Pico de Gallo.
• Put large pot back on stove and add 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil. Heat oil over medium heat.
• Carefully add salsa mix from VitaMix or Blender (if oil too hot, mixture will splatter - be careful).
• Cook salsa over medium heat for 10 minutes stirring frequently.
• Add Salt & Pepper to taste.
• Can be served warm with home made tortilla chips - refrigerate balance.

THE BEST HOMEMADE SALSA YOU'LL EVER EAT

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Place tomatoes and peppers in the skillet.
• Continue to saute, rotating the vegetables occasionally, so several sides begin to blister. See photos above. This will take around 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Once cooled, chop off the stems of the peppers, and remove the seeds from the jalapeño (you can also keep some seeds for more heat in your salsa). Cut the vegetables into large pieces.
• Place tomatoes, peppers, onions, lime, and canned tomatoes into a blender and pulse quickly until just mixed (about 5 seconds). Add garlic, cilantro, and bouillon. Pulse for another 15 seconds until well blended but chunky.
• Place in a large bowl and refrigerate until cooled before serving. Serve with your favorite Mexican dish or with chips.
