Frytown, Iowa | This is what we do with ours.... salsa recipe is from some good friends of ours... its so good it has become a major food group in our lives...
you can make the salsa fresh or can it (hot water bath) we prefer the hot water bath....
Tomato Soup
1 peck ripe tomatoes (8 qt.)
6 small onions
1 red sweet pepper
1 small bunch celery
1 scant cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup salt
1 cup flour (rubbed with the butter)
Cook together the tomatoes, onions, red pepper and celery. Strain through victoria strainer and return juice to stove. Add sugar, butter, salt and flour rubbed smooth in the butter. Cook until creamy and thicker. Pour into jars and seal. Process 15 min. in hot water bath. To serve thin with milk or tomatoe juice( one pint of soup + one pint of milk/juice and mix).
(i cook the tomatoes and make tomato juice. then cook the other veggies in a bit of the tomato juice. then i blend all the juice and veggies in a blender. )
( I think 1/4 cup salt is a bit too salty.)
