Sauce/Salsa Tomatoes

[AlittleSalt]

My wife gave a coworker friend a bunch of our tomatillos and peppers (Tabasco, Serrano, and Jalapeno). The Tabasco peppers are extremely hot this year. Many people have told us they have never eaten a tabasco pepper that hot. The coworker sent us back a jar of light green colored hot sauce that she made with our donated vegies, and it tastes unbelievable. It isn't as hot as eating the raw pepper. I guess cooking peppers tames some of the heat?

I'll second Costoluto Genevese but I put it with grappolini d'inverno. Makes excellent salsa that isn't sweet. I have also tried green zebra and green zebra cherry for a "salsa Verde" that has that tart flavor that salsa aficionados like.

Worth,

I love the history! I had some family that used to live in Roswell. My father use to make work trips to White Sands...
If your sister found thirty of them, what's the story behind that? I may have to swing by out there someday and pick one up.

Tracy,
I just bought an OXO. I made sauce from scratch,using the oven roasted method on another thread. I made it with Snickers and a couple of Cherokee Purples I picked that day. Hassle free way to make sauce and my family complained that I didn't make enough! Always leave them wanting more, hehe. I have decided to expand the garden, again.....

From my two plants, I processed 2 gallons of sauce on Tuesday, and I could go out now and pick enough ripe tomatoes for another two gallons. With just these two plants and a couple of Opalka, I will freeze enough sauce to last the entire year.

I'm going to try Opalka next year. I like CG and Russo so far for sauce. Amish Paste produced pretty good too. Well all are still producing! I want to try others so Amish Paste will be skipped next year, but it's decent and will be grown again.

Christina it was my wifes cousin not my sister my sister wouldn't even know what one was if it fell out of the sky and hit her in the head.

The story is........

The lady had a son that flew jet fighters in Vietnam during the war.
She was so worried he was going to be killed she took up arrow head hunting to help take her mind off of it.

This woman had literally thousands of artifacts she had found.
She had so many only perfect ones were on display.
The rest were used as rock mulch in her flower beds.
She even had an awl pouch she had found in the desert.

She had points like the Clovis point that dates back ten thousand years.

Now that I think about it maybe it was Clovis New Mexico where she lived.

My wife folks are from all over that area.

Here grand mothers maiden name was Little and her great grand father was a judge out there.

So there is the story behind the stones.

So far they are I know the whole story behind the first Clovis point found.
Mind you at this time one of the well followed leaders of academia thought and said the Egyptians were here.
He fought the existence of these clovis people and thier age for years.

It is a very interesting story that can be found in an equally interesting book called 1491 about pre Columbian America.

Off topic yes, just look at is as a commercial break.
I am very inthusiastic about pre Columbian native Americans.

I gave the book to a Kiowa friend of mine.
I need to get another one.

Just yesterday he showed me pictures of his identical triplet grand daughters or nieces.
The fist in the tribe ever recorded.
He goes by the name of Silverhorn.
