• 2 medium (seeded and finely chopped) jalapeño peppers
• 0.5 cup (chopped) cilantro
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all fresh produce thoroughly, including tomatoes, onion, jalapeño peppers, and cilantro.

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes into small pieces, ensuring you remove any tough cores. Measure out 8 cups and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and finely dice the onion to yield 1 cup. Add to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Carefully seed and finely chop the jalapeño peppers. Adjust the amount if you prefer a milder or spicier salsa. Add to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Chop fresh cilantro leaves, avoiding any tough stems, until you have 0.5 cups. Mix this into the bowl with the other ingredients.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons black pepper. Stir well to create a seasoning mixture.

Step 7

Pour the seasoning mixture over the vegetables in the large bowl. Stir everything together thoroughly, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding extra lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 9

Using clean, freezer-safe containers or resealable freezer bags, portion the salsa into desired serving sizes. Leave a little space at the top of the containers to allow for expansion during freezing.

Step 10

Seal the containers tightly and label them with the date. Place the containers in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Step 11

When ready to enjoy, defrost the salsa in the refrigerator overnight and give it a good stir before serving. Pair with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes!
