Me and my girlfriend made this salsa a couple of years ago when I first found your videos. It is our go to salsa recipe. I like the canned tomatoes myself due to them being canned at their peak of ripeness. The only other ingredient that I add is a little bit of apple cider vinegar. And if I have time I like to grill tomatoes and that adds a nice little smoky flavor. Good stuff.

@Derek2001 Thanks so much! Glad you like the salsa! We cringe at this video since it was one of our first attempts on YouTube, but the recipe itself is a good one. :)

@ChefTips I have noticed you've started adding some bloopers here and there. My advice do a take where you have a boom mic fall into frame like int those cheesy B-movies. And you need to take a trip to a water park; find one that you have to use an innertube and just before going down, say, "Thanks for tubing in." Should be pretty classic

@Derek2001 Haha. Great idea! But I'll have to wait until it warms up a bit. :)

I used two small cans of tomato puree and cut up two roma tomatoes with sea salt. I mixed and poured half into one bowl and then added more jalapenos and about half a cup of the vinegar the jalapenos came in and mixed it down to a really watery salsa which is how i liked it. my girlfriend liked the chunky less hot and I liked my fine hot salsa. thanks for the recipe!

@Brettisgg Thanks for sharing your tweaks/additions to the recipe. Sounds great!

Look, my mom's best friend from Mexico shared this recipe with us years ago. I know there are several salsa recipes out there that call for fresh ingredients and are very good. This recipe is really good too. I wouldn't bother making this video if the recipe stunk....

[MahoganyMarmalade]

Canned tomatoes? Pickled jalapenos? What. If you want an authentic salsa recipe, use only fresh ingredients. No pickled or canned anything :\

@ChefTips hey, you gotta crawl before you walk.

Thank you so much for putting up this recipe Chef Jason Hill! I found this recipe a little over a year ago and I have made it for my family and friends ever since. Everyone that tries this recipe loves it and thinks it is very authentic. You are a great chef and I hope you post more videos on how to make authentic mexican food soon.
