Today a basket of peppers, chilis and tomatoes that someone graciously shared with me became a big batch of salsa for the fridge and freezer. The process began with roasting peppers and ended with packing the cooled salsa into containers. All told, it probably took about 3 hours. The herbs and spices were already in the cupboard, as was the tomato paste. Onions were the only ingredient that had to be purchased just for this recipe…and if you are growing them, maybe this will be an almost free thing for you.
