Salsa recipe from Ball canning, called Fresh Salsa. I had never peeled a tomato before. It wasn’t as difficult as I feared. Also managed to have enough garden tomatoes I didn’t need the backup store tomatoes!

Also no cilantro because we all have the cilantro is soap genes over here!
Why would someone downvote you because you genetically don’t like cilantro? I’m sorry for your loss. Cilantro is amazing! The salsa looks great.
Haha, I’m not sure why they did! I wish I could eat it, the way people who can describe it makes it sound amazing!
Maybe one day we can take a pill like for lactose intolerant people do for dairy, then have some cilantro, that would be cool!
🤔 I wonder if miraculin tablets would work? Obviously they wouldn’t make it taste like it does normally, but it may make it palatable.
I think they would make the rest of the salsa taste…weird. It would be interesting to try and just chew on some cilantro straight up though! That could be fun!
Just an FYI, when I was younger I had the soap thing too, I have found over time that exposing myself to small doses in my salsa has acclimated me to it? Like I would make a batch and then put a minuscule amount in so I could say I did but still find it palatable - and over time it just got better and better. These days I couldn’t live without it, but I still feel like it’s an herb that’s easy to overdo, like cumin.
My friend has the cilantro soap gene and she said cilantro paste actually doesn’t taste like soap for some reason. Not sure why though.
