Roasted Tomato Salsa

Roasted Tomato Salsa is the best that you have ever eaten. Roasting tomatoes for salsa makes all the difference. With serranos it makes a flavor explosion that will blow your mind!
The best salsa you have ever eaten is a bold statement, however… We are making it. This salsa is so amazing that I can’t stop making it. Chad literally devours it. I worked on this recipe for quite a while adjusting the ingredients and the heat. Well, finally it is perfect. Wonderfully full and balanced. I am so excited to share this recipe with you.
Deep roasted tomato flavor meets the roasted serranos, onions, garlic and jalapenos to create the perfect blend. Lime juice add just enough tart to balance the sweetness of the roasted vegetables. The serranos and jalapenos together create a seamless heat that will warm you up! Adding cilantro at the end gives a fabulous cool note! All together this is perfect and you are going to love it too!
Adjust the chiles to your heat preference. I have a mild to medium preference and Chad prefers it HOT HOT HOT!!! I swear he must have had jalapenos in his baby bottles. So, 5 serranos for me and 16 for him. It is sooooo worth it!
After making such a perfect salsa there was only one thing left to do: can it! So, after I ran it through the food processor, I added lime juice and 2 cups of vinegar. Brought it to a boil and let it cook down a bit. Then, I canned it according to the manufacturers directions. After sitting for a few days the vinegar levels off and you can not taste it in the salsa.

Mmm homemade salsa is the best. Yours sounds delicious! And roasting the veggies is definitely the way to go. 🙂
hmm .. This indeed proved to be the food delicious, I myself have tried it.
I always find my salsas that I make with fire roasted veggies taste infinitely better than the same ingredients raw, so I bet this was tasty!
