This a great salsa recipe that came from my father-in-law (Don’s Dad). I have been making it every year for the last twenty five years or so. It is the first thing I do with my garden tomatoes and when I think I have enough (thirty pints) then I start doing other things them.
Note from Lanie – If you’re wondering about the name of the salsa, the plaque on our father-in-law’s house is “Rancho Not So Grande”.
Rancho Not So Grande Salsa

Instructions
- Put tomatoes, onions and jalapenos in a blender in batches. Add spices and vinegar.
