I roast all of my tomatoes these days for sauce with garlic, onions oregano and basil, salt and olive oil. I drain off the extra liquid and freeze in small containers about a cup or so. I treasure that liquid, it makes my soup. I purée the rest and freeze, that’s my sauce. With just two of us now, that’s how we roll. I am a woman who canned 100 quarts of tomatoes packed in juice, not water in one day with my Grandma’s help and my baby crawling around the kitchen back in the day, about 40 years ago. Things have changed, but those days were fun and satisfying. We are down to 12 tomato plants now. Three good hills of cucumbers and lots of herbs.
a lot of negatives are going on in my life, your positive attitude has been a blessing in my life. Also since I started watching my gardening skills have improved.
I'm so glad you shared the real process of cooking. That's what really helps people who are learning. They follow a recipe exactly and think they did something wrong when it isn't perfect the first time they taste it. Then they get frustrated and may give up. I swear the most important lesson in learning to cook is to taste your food, then adjust it. As you practice and gain experience, you get better at anticipating what a recipe will need, or knowing what to add when it isn't quite right. I'm awful at sharing my recipes with people because I just add till it looks and tastes right.
Me too!!! Exactly what I was going to say! I rarely use a written recipe w things like this. Cooking this way is what makes it fun for me! It's make it as you like it - all the way! Thanks Jess for a "real" cooking video! ♡ I'm trying to teach my daughter how to cook, and she is a very step-by-step person. (Where did she get THAT from?!?) So now I have a video to show her, before we begin our salsa experience, and she will know what to expect. Which is what makes it easier for her. This "real" way of cooking IS something everyone should learn how to do - in my opinion. Thanks Again Jess, GREAT VIDEO ♡♡♡
Same here! We're trying to make a recipe book for my mother in law and it's been hard because I never measure things lol. Just do things base on taste and preference
I'm the same way. When people ask for my recipe I cant even say what I put in it. It changes almost everytime! It was only when I realized recipes were a springboard for creativity that i learned how to really cook!
Great video. Life is about rolling with the punches and making it all work out in the end. Too many people would have called that a fail, but you handled it gracefully and were flexible with the process. Thank you for showing the 'real'.
Just watching you work in that kitchen makes me so darned happy! I’m not a cilantro lover. I’m not one of those who thinks it tastes like soap though. I just substitute parsley to get that fresh green taste that I think salsa needs.
I've been skimming thru here trying to find suggestions on an alternative to cilantro since half my family has the "this tastes like soap" gene, so thank you for the suggestion
My dad was raised by his grandparents. In the summer, my great-grandfather grew fields of tomatoes. When ripe, they would pick them, and can them in metal cans on an outdoor fire to sell at stores. Water bath canning was almost the only canning my mom ever did. She didn't use the pressure canner except for when there was no option. Over the decades, water bath canning has been fine. Nothing has changed.
I love the random puppy appearances in your videos. We see Bear all the time, but you should do a pet tour of all the other non-farm animals you have with some back story and personality info. I'd watch an hour long video on that, all the puppies all the time. And yes, they are always puppies, even when they are old.
Thanks for keeping it real! It's refreshing to watch a video that shows us how to tweak and deal when things don't go as planned. PS- had our first "kitchen day" today and your videos were on repeat! (first year our garden has been producing a great harvest- much thanks to your channel!) Root and Refuge has been a go to for us! Thank you!
Hi Jess~ I really appreciate that you not only showed how you make salsa, but also what you do when it doesn't turn out as planned. It will definitely save a lot of people from throwing away a batch because it isn't quite right. Especially those who have to make something exactly the way the recipe says. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I've been making salsa for years and never thought to roast the ingredients. I followed your advice this year and it's the best batch of salsa ever! Thank you!
Keepin' it REAL with Jess! It's the ONLY way we'd want it. whether in the GARDEN or KITCHEN! Thanks for making me smile today! and btw I LOVE CILANTRO as well!
Love that you are keeping it real during the process. The rest of us mortals won’t feel so foolish trying to make salsa. Never would have thought that you would use honey. Can’t wait to try this out. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I will too of I'm making a Mexican style tomato sauce or salsa. I make a pico de gallo with a avocado or avocado salad. I don't mash my avocados. I leave them in chunks.
I looove your kitchen videos. I know they're not the most comfortable for you to make, but thank you so much for making and sharing them. Also, this is perfect because I'm about to harvest a bumper crop of tomatoes and needed something to do with them.
This has got to be the 30th time I have watched this video. I search for it for motivation with shat to do with my peppers and tomatoes. Yet, I get a great salsa recipe and the GRACE I need to even attempt at cooking homemade salsa. Thank You Jess! You speak to my soul before I even know I need you 🥰❤️ Wish me luck with my salsa 🤞🏽
I am very glad that you continued with the video and showed us how you worked it out. I do that a lot but I feel like I'm doing something I'm not susspose to do. Love seeing that someone else does the same thing. Thanks for doing that.
I so appreciate when people are vulnerable and share when things don't go according to plan or "fail". Every day and experience is different! Thank you!
I agree, I could see she was stressed a little bit. She is real and thats what I like. Not only did she share the recipe, she was like ok this did not turn out how I wanted it here is how I am fixing it. Perfection love it!!!
"If you don't have cilantro, what are you even doing with your life?" Fell out of my chair chuckling. Completely agree. Jess, next time you use yellow tomatoes you can add some pineapple (maybe your ground cherries) and or some mango and you can have a fresher salsa. Quite yummy.
I so appreciate you and how you share your life with the world. I am growing tomatoes for the first time this year and cannot wait to make salsa with them! Keep being real ❤️
One of my favorite things about your videos is how authentic they are. It makes the projects/ideas/lifestyle you present so approachable. Authentic charm is your niche.🙂👍🏽💚
AWESOME video!!!! That's what's so easy to like about you. Your just REAL!!! I've learned especially with my sauce...Nothing Ever comes out the same, but ya tweek it as you go and it's always good in the end! ❤
Love seeing you in your beautiful kitchen, amazing work space! So awesome that you've left in the reality of creating. How you thought out loud about why and how you decided to correct your issues. You are an amazing instructor sharing your life experiences with a peaceful humorous attitude, no panic things happen. With all that's happening in the world you are a Blessing, thank you, Bear too!
Oh, and I want to add that I really like your kitchen videos. My daughter (who is one of the pickiest eaters in the world), suggested making pickles with the cucumbers from our plant. She used the recipe from your recent Quick Pickle video. Can't wait to try them!
Thank you so much, not just for the recipe, but for the lesson on, if you can improve something, you don't have to settle for something that isn't quite right.
I love videos that don't go right at first and it needs a little "tweaking" as you go! It shows we don't always get things right when we start but you just figure out what you need and make it better! Thanks for sharing!
Jess! This is the reality of using the kitchen as your Laboratory! I love to tweak just about everything I cook! Makes life interesting and the palate learns to enjoy every bit of flavor available! Home grown and home cooked! Who can do better?? Definitely trying your recipe! :-)
Best cooking show ever!!!! I will take real over staged any day. So helpful. Thank you for being authentic. Makes me feel like I can take more risks and try things.
I really appreciate how you show the oops, mistakes or not quite not the way you wanted it to turn out moments. I was not allowed in the kitchen growing up and have dealt with constant inept feelings for decades. Im almost 50 now and still find such great comfort from seeing the 'real' kitchen happenings. That is true encouragement to me. That the way I figured out cooking by making things do and fixin them is just fine. Getting rid of that I'm not good enough or inept feelings that are not the truth.
thank you, Jess, for all the information of your salsa recipe. It's also helpful to know how to tweak it for just the right flavor. Thanks for leaving that part in the video. You don't know how helpful that is for first-timers.
Jess, you are so adorable! Thanks for sharing your mishap so the rest of us feel better about redoing things when the taste is off! You do like way more cilantro than me, but I’m right there with you on there never being too much garlic! Your garden is amazing! Thanks for sharing and teaching!
If you leave everything whole and put heat up to around 400 until it all gets darker than your’s did this time you also get a much richer roasted flavor. I love the honey and lemon . Thanks so much for being just a Real person down to earth I appreciate that so much.
I love the giant puppy’s snoot is at bench height! I have big greyhounds so also run into this issue, but it’s always interesting to see other snoot’s getting into mischief
I enjoyed it and probably especially so because it's so real it's what happens every day and we have to learn to adjust our recipes and go on thank you
Hi Jess. I made salsa last night for the first time using your recipe with tomatoes from my garden and OMG it is delish!! I don’t want to ever eat store bought salsa again. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
I love love love you showed the learning and adapting process!! At first I followed recipes and ended up with less than amazing products but the process is the real learning!!! Thank you Jess!!!
I so much appreciate you showing us the raw and real version, it’s not always right the first time and you can always make it better if you need to! Can’t wait to try this recipe 😋
I think the extra steps added a lot of value to the lesson honestly. Usually when I watch your cooking videos I feel like “oh she makes it looks so easy, she’s done it 1000 times” or something along those lines. But seeing that it’s flexible and pretty much matches my style of cooking anyways, really has me motivated to make salsa! I remember a lonnnngg time ago when I was raising a garden for my brother I attempted salsa and I never cooked it and I used a magic bullet so it was way frothy and had too many hot peppers in it lol and I haven’t made salad since. This is a refreshing reminder that it’s so valuable to watch someone familiar do it first. Thank you for making cooking videos even though there’s lots of opinions thrown your way!!! It’s basically like defending a creative process that also comes with the baggage of food safety. But just stay reminded: Teaching people to cook and advising them to learn the the risks is much better than people not feeling comfortable enough to eat and prepare homemade nutrition! 🙌🏻
Thanx for sharing the "Imperfect" process! Cooking "on the fly" is how I learned to be a good cook! Showing how to adjust and modify as you go is SO important & necessary!
I save and freeze the liquid that is released when roasting tomatoes and add it to soup. It adds so much flavor, I call it liquid gold
🤦🏻♀️ great idea!!! I'm having so many "why didn't I think of that!?" moments reading through this thread. 😁
I usually just put it in my pot and cook it way down before putting my salsa in, so you concentrate the flavours
I roast all of my tomatoes these days for sauce with garlic, onions oregano and basil, salt and olive oil. I drain off the extra liquid and freeze in small containers about a cup or so. I treasure that liquid, it makes my soup. I purée the rest and freeze, that’s my sauce. With just two of us now, that’s how we roll. I am a woman who canned 100 quarts of tomatoes packed in juice, not water in one day with my Grandma’s help and my baby crawling around the kitchen back in the day, about 40 years ago. Things have changed, but those days were fun and satisfying. We are down to 12 tomato plants now. Three good hills of cucumbers and lots of herbs.
Angela Collins i was thinking the same
I do the same you arr so right
a lot of negatives are going on in my life, your positive attitude has been a blessing in my life. Also since I started watching my gardening skills have improved.
I love the way your showing us the real way you cook, because your showing the real you not a phony you. I enjoy watching how you roll!
I'm so glad you shared the real process of cooking. That's what really helps people who are learning.

I'm awful at sharing my recipes with people because I just add till it looks and tastes right.
Kristy Dickens same 😂🥰
Me too!!!
Exactly what I was going to say!
I rarely use a written recipe w things like this.
Cooking this way is what makes it fun for me!
It's make it as you like it - all the way!
Thanks Jess for a "real" cooking video! ♡
I'm trying to teach my daughter how to cook, and she is a very step-by-step person. (Where did she get THAT from?!?)
So now I have a video to show her, before we begin our salsa experience, and she will know what to expect.
Which is what makes it easier for her.
This "real" way of cooking IS something everyone should learn how to do - in my opinion.
Thanks Again Jess,
GREAT VIDEO ♡♡♡
Same here! We're trying to make a recipe book for my mother in law and it's been hard because I never measure things lol. Just do things base on taste and preference
I'm the same way. When people ask for my recipe I cant even say what I put in it. It changes almost everytime! It was only when I realized recipes were a springboard for creativity that i learned how to really cook!
Yes! I give recipes to my friends as a list of ingredients... a couple of them can't handle it.... they go by exact measurements. :)
I LOVE that you kept the video AS IS and didn’t redo it to make it look easy. It’s more real life moments and I appreciate you for that! 🥰
"Tweak as needed," my life motto! Next tshirt 😁
Patty Meade-Austin LOL!!! ABSOLUTELY ❣️
Totally!
I want that shirt! 😁
Tweaker
Great video. Life is about rolling with the punches and making it all work out in the end. Too many people would have called that a fail, but you handled it gracefully and were flexible with the process. Thank you for showing the 'real'.
Just watching you work in that kitchen makes me so darned happy! I’m not a cilantro lover. I’m not one of those who thinks it tastes like soap though. I just substitute parsley to get that fresh green taste that I think salsa needs.
I've been skimming thru here trying to find suggestions on an alternative to cilantro since half my family has the "this tastes like soap" gene, so thank you for the suggestion

Thanks for keeping it real. That's what I love most about your videos. Keep up the good work!
I like that you show mistakes or unsuccessful crops. It shows the real world. Blessings
You are nice to hang out with , a real down to earth person it’s a pleasure to learn from you , thank you
I know these videos aren’t your favorite but I really enjoy them! So thank you for making them for us! 🥰🥰
I love the random puppy appearances in your videos. We see Bear all the time, but you should do a pet tour of all the other non-farm animals you have with some back story and personality info.

It warms my heart to see my comment from a year ago and know how much I’ve learned. This salsa is fantastic and I did can it! YUM! Thank you!
Thank you Jess for always being so honest and transparent about things! :)
Hi Jess~ I really appreciate that you not only showed how you make salsa, but also what you do when it doesn't turn out as planned. It will definitely save a lot of people from throwing away a batch because it isn't quite right. Especially those who have to make something exactly the way the recipe says. Thank you so much for sharing this!
The “real process” taught me so much more than if it hadn’t happened. Thank you!
You are the cutest! I completely understand your frustration but thank you for being your genuine self!
I've been making salsa for years and never thought to roast the ingredients. I followed your advice this year and it's the best batch of salsa ever! Thank you!
I love the honesty in this video. I consider myself a decent cook and sometimes I need to tweak the hell out of my own recipes. You go, girl!
Keepin' it REAL with Jess! It's the ONLY way we'd want it. whether in the GARDEN or KITCHEN!
Thanks for making me smile today! and btw I LOVE CILANTRO as well!
Love that you are keeping it real during the process. The rest of us mortals won’t feel so foolish trying to make salsa.
Never would have thought that you would use honey. Can’t wait to try this out.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
You are the only channel I follow on UA-cam. I love the fact that you are a real person that does the same type of things we all do in our kitchens!
I love adding lime juice to salsa!! Pico de gallo, tomatillo salsa, and fire roasted are some favorites of mine
I was thinking that lime juice would go great with that cilantro, too.
I will too of I'm making a Mexican style tomato sauce or salsa. I make a pico de gallo with a avocado or avocado salad. I don't mash my avocados. I leave them in chunks.
I always use lime juice as well.
Another year has gone by and I’m back at this video to aid in my salsa I’m making from my garden!!! Thank you for all the value you bring me!!! 💖💖💖
My garden is finally a success this year thanks to you I can't wait to try this recipe
I looove your kitchen videos. I know they're not the most comfortable for you to make, but thank you so much for making and sharing them. Also, this is perfect because I'm about to harvest a bumper crop of tomatoes and needed something to do with them.

Wish me luck with my salsa 🤞🏽
I am very glad that you continued with the video and showed us how you worked it out. I do that a lot but I feel like I'm doing something I'm not susspose to do. Love seeing that someone else does the same thing. Thanks for doing that.
You are a breath of fresh air.
I am so glad to see someone else who is obviously knowledgeable, does things the same way I do. By the seat of the pants always!
So cute and genuine. I appreciate your ability to share your flops and we all learn from your mistakes.
I so appreciate when people are vulnerable and share when things don't go according to plan or "fail". Every day and experience is different! Thank you!
I agree, I could see she was stressed a little bit. She is real and thats what I like. Not only did she share the recipe, she was like ok this did not turn out how I wanted it here is how I am fixing it. Perfection love it!!!
Grow my tomatoes grow!! I’m excited to make some homemade salsa!!
14:59
Jess, this is an absolute phenomenal salsa recipe! Thank you for sharing with us!
😂 you make me laugh Jess talking about the cilantro. I am finally writing down your recipe! Thanks for sharing.
"If you don't have cilantro, what are you even doing with your life?" Fell out of my chair chuckling. Completely agree. Jess, next time you use yellow tomatoes you can add some pineapple (maybe your ground cherries) and or some mango and you can have a fresher salsa. Quite yummy.
totally agree.... had me in stitches on the floor...
Me too. Loved it. Great idea about pineapple and mango .
not me. I hate that crap. lol. If you could taste what we taste.. you'd know.. Ugh.. it's so awful to my taste buds~ lol.
Or mango
Cilantro doesn't like me.
i LOVE the baskets you use. I dont have a farm yet but when i do, i want baskets like those everywhere for all kinds of random jobs!
I so appreciate you and how you share your life with the world. I am growing tomatoes for the first time this year and cannot wait to make salsa with them! Keep being real ❤️
One of my favorite things about your videos is how authentic they are. It makes the projects/ideas/lifestyle you present so approachable. Authentic charm is your niche.🙂👍🏽💚
I think cooking is as much a science experiment as gardening is. Great recipe! I can't wait to try it.
great job is cooking videos like this that give young people the courage to cook. God has blessed you with true skills to aide the younger generation
Thanks for being YOU, Jess. Perfectly I perfect & precious. 🤗💕
Love that you are a tweaker of recipes. Thank you for being real. Love these videos. Cooks like me - by the seat of my pants. :)
AWESOME video!!!! That's what's so easy to like about you. Your just REAL!!! I've learned especially with my sauce...Nothing Ever comes out the same, but ya tweek it as you go and it's always good in the end! ❤
Love seeing you in your beautiful kitchen, amazing work space! So awesome that you've left in the reality of creating. How you thought out loud about why and how you decided to correct your issues. You are an amazing instructor sharing your life experiences with a peaceful humorous attitude, no panic things happen. With all that's happening in the world you are a Blessing, thank you, Bear too!
Thanks Jess for the extra time to share your recipe. Looks amazing. Have a great day
Oh, and I want to add that I really like your kitchen videos. My daughter (who is one of the pickiest eaters in the world), suggested making pickles with the cucumbers from our plant. She used the recipe from your recent Quick Pickle video. Can't wait to try them!
I wish there was a love button. Thanks for being real
Thank you for being real Jess! I feel like nothing ever goes right for me when I'm cooking so its nice to see it can happen to anyone!
Thank you so much for sharing your garden and your recipes with us. You have brought such joy and a new found passion for gardening again.
Thank you so much, not just for the recipe, but for the lesson on, if you can improve something, you don't have to settle for something that isn't quite right.

I love your transparency! Please stay you. When things do not go as planned, that is when the "magic" happens and everyone can relate.
I love it that you share the real process. I learn best from real, so thank you for being real! :D
Best cooking show ever!!!! I will take real over staged any day. So helpful. Thank you for being authentic. Makes me feel like I can take more risks and try things.
Cooking is so much alchemy - lovely to see you enjoying your ingredients & kitchen
Thanks for keeping it real! Good cooks always tweak their recipes! It is the delicious end result that counts!
We are kindred spirits Jess when it comes to working in the kitchen 😆 the splash of tomato in the eye at the end 👌
I love this. Thanks for being real and unafraid to share imperfect.
I love video recipes with food from the garden.
I really appreciate how you show the oops, mistakes or not quite not the way you wanted it to turn out moments. I was not allowed in the kitchen growing up and have dealt with constant inept feelings for decades. Im almost 50 now and still find such great comfort from seeing the 'real' kitchen happenings. That is true encouragement to me. That the way I figured out cooking by making things do and fixin them is just fine. Getting rid of that I'm not good enough or inept feelings that are not the truth.
GREAT video! Life is real! I love seeing your "real" life experiences.
Been waiting with my earbud in at work for this vid! Time to go hide to watch😉
All that cilantro! You definitely are my kind of person. 👍🏻😄
Thank you for being real. Yes, cilantro is the best part of salsa.
thank you, Jess, for all the information of your salsa recipe. It's also helpful to know how to tweak it for just the right flavor. Thanks for leaving that part in the video. You don't know how helpful that is for first-timers.
This is the most delicious salsa I have ever eaten. Thank you for the recipe!
Love the flexibility in your cooking.... just my style :) Yes I have made your recipe. Excellent.
LOVE it that you show the real kitchen experience !
I love that you are so real! That is more encouraging for me because perfect never happens in my world
Jess, you are so adorable! Thanks for sharing your mishap so the rest of us feel better about redoing things when the taste is off! You do like way more cilantro than me, but I’m right there with you on there never being too much garlic! Your garden is amazing! Thanks for sharing and teaching!
If you leave everything whole and put heat up to around 400 until it all gets darker than your’s did this time you also get a much richer roasted flavor. I love the honey and lemon . Thanks so much for being just a Real person down to earth I appreciate that so much.
how long do you roast it at 400°F with all vegetables whole?
The real process IS what needs shared! Thank you for leaving in real life 😉
I love that it wasn’t perfect and you fixed it!!!! That’s cooking! And teaching
Thank you Jess for being so transparent...love your videos and content.
I love the giant puppy’s snoot is at bench height! I have big greyhounds so also run into this issue, but it’s always interesting to see other snoot’s getting into mischief
Love how you are cooking like a real person.
i love that you showed the whole process
I love your authenticity, I love how you share what you do.
You are very special, Jess. Thank you for sharing your true salsa making experience with us! ❤️
I enjoyed it and probably especially so because it's so real it's what happens every day and we have to learn to adjust our recipes and go on thank you
Looks really good. Thank you Jess for sharing. I don’t want to see a perfect cooking video, I want to see someone who cooks like me! 🤣❤️
Cooking is a process. It is about the journey as well. Love having the real life not fake cooking. Keep it up Jessica!
Hi Jess. I made salsa last night for the first time using your recipe with tomatoes from my garden and OMG it is delish!! I don’t want to ever eat store bought salsa again. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
I love love love you showed the learning and adapting process!! At first I followed recipes and ended up with less than amazing products but the process is the real learning!!! Thank you Jess!!!
Thank you for your authenticity, it makes you so relatable and enjoying to watch. This recipe sounds great!
Thanks for keeping it real, and teaching us how to be adaptable. I appreciate you!
So much of cooking is fluid, you have to be able to adjust! Really enjoy your channel and Congratulations on your book!
Wish you and your family well😊
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! Love seeing what you do with the harvest!
I loved the teaching video! It was wonderful to see how to correct the salsa!
I so much appreciate you showing us the raw and real version, it’s not always right the first time and you can always make it better if you need to! Can’t wait to try this recipe 😋
This is exactly why I love to cook - and not bake - when cooking, you get to adjust to the tastes of those you’re cooking for♥️
Me too.
Me too I LOVE to cook.... But HATE to bake...
@@kmiller6002 Twins!!
When you said " I'm of the frame of mind you can't use too much garlic " I said aaaamen sister. 🤣
Preach!😆
Yaaaassssss
