Make your own picante-style sauce or salsa at home with this recipe, with fresh tomatoes, spicy jalapenos, tangy apple cider vinegar and more. I use this sauce on practically everything. Can be served as a sauce or a salsa.

Ingredients

  • 10 dried chipotle peppers

  • 2 cups chopped tomatoes

  • 2 cups mixed chili peppers chopped – jalapeno peppers are great here, as are serranos, or go with a variety

  • 1 small onion chopped

  • 4-5 garlic cloves chopped

  • 3 tablespoons cilantro

  • 1 tablespoon cayenne powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ cup water

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2/3 cup cider vinegar

  • Juice from 1 small lime

Directions

  • Add the chipotle peppers to a small pot and cover them with water. Bring to a quick boil then remove from heat. Allow them to soften about 20 minutes. Remove the stems, chop them and add them to a food processor.
  • To the food processor, add tomatoes, jalapenos, serranos, onion and garlic. Process to roughly chop.
  • Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
  • Add the sauce to a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Cool and store in sterilized jars, or use it right away.
