Answer 2

You might want to try one of the sweeter recipes and add a little pineapple or apple to the traditional mix.

In Latin American countries the recipes aren't very scientific. You just add what you have.

I don't know if you plan to water bath or freeze the end result. Both can be a little watery when you open the jars. Try adding a little tomato paste, or dry the tomatoes and peppers first to absorb some of the water. Some people just cook the whole mix down before canning, but I think much of the chunkiness is lost that way.

Answer 3

here's what I put in my salsa: Garlic, onion, red bell pepper, green chilis, cilantro, cumin, salt, pepper & a little vinegar.
