Creole Salsa

Salsa with a Creole flavor is so yummy! I stumbled across the recipe in an old cookbook that belonged to my great granny. I enjoyed it so much that I made enough to be canned! So far…24 pints and 7 half pints of Creole Salsa sitting on the shelf. Edit: second batch: I used fresh big boy tomatoes in place of the “store bought” can of tomatoes. My neighbor asked if I cooked it before canning? Nope, it’s cooked during canning.

I love to bake sweet stuff, with a bit of savory tasty cooking thrown into the mix. Just good ol’ southern cuisine. Most of my recipes were handed down from my Great & Grand Grannies. If they didn’t grow it or raise it, it wasn’t eaten. My hubby and I have alot of food allergies so it gets challenging sometimes to make things that we both can eat. Neither of us can eat shellfish, which is sad, considering where we live, cuz it’s everywhere! Y’all won’t find any shellfish /saltwater fish recipes here. Some fresh water fishes, maybe. Hope y’all enjoy my recipes!
