The Roma tomatoes are coming into their own, so I rounded up enough to make another batch of salsa this afternoon. The way I keep the sauce from becoming to runny, after I get the pot simmering for several minutes with the tomatoes, peppers, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper I take a large spoon and lift out as much as the liquid as I can. I do this because I know that I will have to add vinegar and lemon juice back in.
Well I was looking at the glass 4 cup measure I use to hold the juice and thought: ‘bet that would be good over ice’. It was! I’ve been making salsa for years and this is the first time that I tried this. It’s not just good, it’s damn good. It’s so good that I’m tempted to make batches of the liquid alone!
