I use the first recipe in this post often:  https://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1223890/centex-s-salsa-vault-post-yours-here-too-if-ya-want/p1  @The Cen-Tex Smoker


While many may disagree, my soon to be named 5 star Micheline kitchen believes it is all in the cilantro.  Soak and rinse 3 times, using a salad spinner, then seperate the leaves from the stems.  The rest is heaven!









Meanwhile, I made some wings:

    Did you process it at all in the jars?

    Your salsa looks good. I've been following the Cen Tex recipe/method for a while now. I've had better results using the Flora brand San Marzano tomatoes rather than the Cento brand. The Flora tomatoes have a better texture.
    I do like your Cilantro prep method, I will definitely give try next time.

    If you are into homemade salsas then you need to give the above listed link a solid look.  There are incredible recipes in there that should take care of any flavour profiles you desire.  It is a salsa gold mine.

    This has been on my to-do list since the original post!  Agree...

    I get the Flora brand at Publix in Alabama. The Flora brand seems to be processed at temperature and time that helps with the texture. When I tried the Cento brand they disintegrated totally on the first couple of pulses in the food processor. This could just be the Cento can I had, it may not reflect the brand.
