Frankly, I've never canned salsa before, but Judy has made a believer of me, mainly because I can taste how very good it is; not only compared to bottled, but also how much better tasting it is than our typical throw-it-together salsa with a few chops of the knife. The latter version goes bad so quickly in our fridge, too, whereas her version stays fresh for days after Cleo Coylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-90711621565072809882012-09-18T20:14:47.625-04:002012-09-18T20:14:47.625-04:00Nanc - What a kind comment, thank *you* for droppi...Nanc - What a kind comment, thank *you* for dropping by today.
