Green chile sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have a recipe for green chile sauce? I would like to can my own. My husband and I love Chile Verde and chicken enchiladas using green chile.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s a recipe for you to try. You can adjust the hotness of your sauce by choosing hotter green chiles and\/or adding hot jalape\u00f1os to taste. Enjoy!\u00a0 You can double or triple the batch to make more at a time. It doesn’t hurt a thing.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
\n2 lbs. green chiles, roasted and skin removed
\n2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
\n1\/2 tsp. cumin
\n1 tsp. salt
\n1 Tbsp. lime juice
\n2 Tbsp. oil
\n1-2 jalapenos, seeded (optional for spiciness)<\/p>\n

Preparation:
\nAfter the chiles are roasted and peeled, cut stem end off, and make a cut down the side of the chile. Open it up, and scrape the seeds out with a spoon. Blend chiles in food processor until chunky. Add in remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Ladle into pint or half-pint canning jars, leaving 1\/2 inch of headspace. Process in a pressure canner at 10 pounds for 35 minutes. If you live at an altitude above 1,000 feet, consult your canning book for directions on increasing your pressure to suit your altitude. — Jackie<\/p>\n

Canning tomatoes and peppers<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have probably already addressed this but I couldn’t find it anywhere in my mags. Can you can tomatoes and peppers together? I use a lot of the canned Ro-tel and was wanting to can my own.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, you can. I do it all the time! If you’re only using a few peppers for flavor, you can water bath them safely. If you use a lot, I’d recommend pressure canning them at 10 minutes for 35 minutes, just to be safer (pints). By a “few” I mean to 30 lbs. tomatoes, you’ll be adding 2 cups chopped peppers or less. More than that, pressure can your homemade Ro-tel tomatoes. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
