Mexican style hot sauce

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
28 ounces Canned whole tomatoes
6 ounces Canned tomato paste
3 Whole green onions; finely chopped
½ medium Bell pepper; diced
4 Whole jalapeno; finely chopped, (canned or bottled)
3 tablespoons Juice from jalapeno bottle
½ ounce Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon Crushed red pepper
¾ cup Cold water

Directions

1. Pour the can of whole tomatoes into a large bowl, along with their juice. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces.

2. Add all the other ingredients, blending well. Store in a glass container in the refrigerator.

You must use glass because the acid in the peppers will react with metal or plastic. Makes about 6 cups. Serving size (for nutritional analysis purposes only!): 1 Tablespoon Nutritional analysis per serving: 4 calories, 0 cholesterol, 0 dietary fiber, 0 fat, 2 milligrams sodium My substitutions and alterations: 1. Substitute equivalent amount of FRESH tomatoes for canned tomatoes.

Remove skin from tomato if you like. I used beefsteak tomatoes from my garden and they made this recipe simply delicious! 2. Substitute fresh jalapenos for canned/bottled. You will still need juice from canned/bottled jalapenos though.

3. Omit the ¾ cup water, especially if using FRESH tomatoes.

4. Give the salsa extra pizzazz by adding more jalapeno, crushed pepper and/or tabasco.
