We love homemade salsa.

Us too. We've just about OD'd on it lately. Fortunately, I put up about 60 pints. That should be enough for a few Christmas presents and enough for us to gorge on until my greenhouse starts putting out fresh tomatoes in about April.

You know, I’ve never made sauce or juice. I hate skinning tomatoes, so haven’t branched out much. LOL.

I have one of those Kitchen Aid mixers with a strainer attachment. It takes the skins and most of the seeds out. The salsa isn't as thick as what you'd make by hand, but it tastes the same and it's A LOT faster.....

We just cubed the tomatoes by hand and threw them in the pot this time for the salsa. I cheated, I didn’t skin them. At first I tried the food mill, but that was a pain. It would keep clogging up. Mine was thinner this time because I just didn’t cook it down as much as usual. I was impatient. LOL.
