For Meghan's birthday surprise I chose to make her Strawberry Salsa from strawberries in my garden. We have had strawberries coming out our ears this year. This is the best strawberries we have ever had out of our garden. In the past we had a lot of little berries but these this year are really big!
I hope you have a terrific birthday Meghan and may all your dreams and wishes come true.
Strawberry Salsa
adapted from Can U Can It (I did not can mine)
6 cups chopped strawberries (not too small, bite size pieces)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cups chopped onion (a mixture of sweet onions and red onions works best)
1/2 cup chopped seeded Jalapeno’ Peppers (chopped fine).
2 ounces Lime Juice
1 tablespoon dried cilantro
1/2 tablespoon cumin
2/3 cup red bell peppers
1/4 cup green bell peppers
1/2 teaspoon canning or sea salt
1/2 cup vinegar
Boil the sugar, vinegar and corn syrup till all the sugar is dissolved. Add the spices,onions,lime juice and peppers and bring back to a boil. Turn off heat and add the berries. Let cool. When cooled some put into a container and store in the refrigerator.
