Why is my salsa too tomatoey?

Add just a little sugar and vinegar. Fresh cilantro may help, too. I kinda suspect that pureeing the tomatoes like you're doing within the blender -- instead of leaving them chunky, like most recipes -- is most likely adding a great deal to the flavor.

How do you thin thick salsa?

If it gets too thick, try thinning out with water, lime juice, or chicken broth. Add onions, but don't blend them. If you prefer your salsa with the kick of white onion, roughly chop about ¼ cup and rinse with cold water. This will lessen the overpowering flavor and aroma of the onions.

Does tomato paste thicken salsa?

If you use slicing tomatoes, you can thicken your salsa by adding tomato paste or by draining off some of the liquid after you chop the tomatoes. Never add flour or cornstarch to salsa before canning because an unsafe product may result.

Are frozen tomatoes good for salsa?

The perks of using frozen tomatoes are: You can wait until you are ready to make the salsa. Feel like making salsa in December? No problem! Peeling the tomatoes is insanely easy and takes way less time than blanching.

Should I can or freeze salsa?

Freezer salsa may not look as fresh and perky as fresh salsa, but it's definitely a viable alternative to canning. There will be some watery liquid after it's thawed. It's really not a big deal. ... Just a caution, you can't simply take fresh salsa and stick it in the freezer, you do need to cook it down first.
