Scotty, I see that you just cut the maters and blend them as they are. I was always told to blanch the maters and peal them. In your salsa does the peal give any issues with texture.

I don’t blend the tomatoes. I just pulse them. It’s not a restraunt style smooth salsa. It’s chunky. When cooked, the skins soften up. I’ve never had any complaints about texture.
It may have been said and you may already do it yourself ... I confess I just looked at the pics and did not read.....
your recipe looks awesome and probably tastes just as well but if you fired up the pit or the smoker and either smoked or fire roasted the peppers, garlic cloves, tomatoes, and onions.... your flavor would absolutely pop.
I grow my own peppers ( jalapeño, Serrano, chili pequin, orange habanero, cayenne and poblanos and make (sometimes sale) salsa and it’s good but an OLD Spanish lady that lives next door to my mom said “fire roast all that first boy...thank me later”
It's getting to be that time of year again, so I thought I'd bump this.
Updated the recipe a bit.
Chunky Salsa
Makes ~12 qts
30 lbs San Marzano or Roma Tomatoes 4 Bunches Green Onions
A
2 Large White Onions
20 Serrano Peppers
4 Heads of Garlic 1/2 cup Vinegar
3 Tbsp. Lime juice
3 Tbsp. Lemon juice
2 Bunches Cilantro
4 Tbsp. Salt
4 Tbsp. Sugar
Run all the tomatoes through a food processor. Just pulse them and leave them chunky. Put the tomatoes on the stove at medium heat. Run the rest of the vegetables (except the peppers) through the processor until finely chopped. Mix all ingredients well.
Bring the salsa to a boil. Skim some of the excess liquid to make it thicker. Then add vinegar, lemon/ lime juice, salt, and sugar, and simmer at a slow boil. I add the chopped peppers now, a little at a time tasting as I go to get the level of heat I want.
Pour into jars, wipe rims, attach lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
You can store this unrefrigerated.
Cut recipe in half to make 12 pints.
We actually made some using the original recipe last night. So dang good!!! We will be making some more if the garden keeps producing. Thanks for sharing the recipe and knowledge
