    Roasted Tomato Salsa

    We’ve been posting some seasonal stuff lately and it’s because there’s so much awesome produce in season right now! Tomatoes are EVERYWHERE and I love it! I know the idea of roasting anything in this heat probably doesn’t sound awesome, but trust me, this one recipe makes a pretty big batch that’ll last you for a bit, and while it’s a salsa (great with chips and on tacos), it’s really a roasted tomato “everything” sauce. I seriously put this stuff on everything; dolloped into soups, as a braising liquid for shredded chicken or beef, as a fresh salad dressing, or my favorite way to eat it…by the spoonful!

    If roasting still doesn’t sound appealing to you, you can totally do this on the grill! It’s easy and you’ll have a great smoky flavor from it! Seriously guys, make this salsa…it’s easy and so so so good! Enjoy! xx, Jenny

      Hi! This looks so delicious and I can definitely imagine making it. I was wondering about storing it- how did you find it best to store and how long do you think it would last in the fridge?
      Thank you!

        I think the best way to store is, is by canning and then refrigerating. It should keep for at least a month or two!

      How about as a cold soup, with some water or ice cubes to thin it out. Perfect ! Thanks!

      I love homemade salsa! I “make” the husband grill the veggies so I wouldn’t have to heat up the house with the oven on.

      Yes! Homemade salsa is such a great way to eat as many summer tomatoes as possible. Must try!
