I gave it 4 stars because I think the tomatoes and peppers would fare better in the final product without their skins. The next time I make it i'll experiment with canned tomatoes or by peeling fresh ones. (Would add more prep time of course.)<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"07\/30\/2013 19:04","GUID":"44D41B140B0340DA8EF326CF6D27C54A","MemberId":611392,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Nan Mock","SubmittedDate":"07\/30\/2013 19:04"},{"Comment":"

I almost put that I wouldn't make this recipe again but that was only because when I tried it earlier, all I could think about was having to clean the pot for so little an amount. I thought the flavor was great and it is great to put it all in the crockpot and not have to worry about it all day. It is a wonderful recipe to use especially when you can get lots of tomatoes on sale, make bunches of salsa and freeze it.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"05\/03\/2013 11:36","GUID":"53398AE8F242487680FA9A8C47A99C65","MemberId":797539,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Cook_aholic","SubmittedDate":"05\/03\/2013 11:36"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"05\/03\/2013 10:24","GUID":"18e4abd07bf74af6ba207d7dfd700e37","MemberId":6301001,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Nealva","SubmittedDate":"05\/03\/2013 10:24"},{"Comment":"

A good basic recipe, but I tried using 2 cans of plum tomatoes in the slow cooker and cooked on low. It came out much better.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"05\/03\/2013 09:12","GUID":"94dfc69e0ee946c186b1049732bb2627","MemberId":4211406,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"dihiggins","SubmittedDate":"05\/03\/2013 09:12"},{"Comment":"

This was a quick and easy way to make a pretty good salsa.

I add a tablespoon of lime juice. It makes the salsa even more tasty and it the acid in it makes the salsa keep in the refrigerator longer.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"08\/10\/2012 15:08","GUID":"8193eb9ed4074d368be39202b9908405","MemberId":4364700,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"ValerieMS","SubmittedDate":"08\/10\/2012 15:08"},{"Comment":"

BEST SALSA I'VE EVER HAD - EVEN BETTER THAN RESTAURANTS. I do not core the tomatoes, but put them in whole with the garlic clove inserted. Also, instead of only 2 garlic cloves for 10 tomatoes, I usually put them in half of the tomatoes because I love garlic.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"07\/18\/2012 08:28","GUID":"3af70916c49749f4ad3af7f063004c45","MemberId":2212793,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ebullock002","SubmittedDate":"07\/18\/2012 08:28"},{"Comment":"

This is definitely the best homemade salsa I've ever had. and I have had a lot!!

I have been making this salsa ever since it was published in Quick Cooking about 10 years ago. It gets rave reviews everytime I make it. I especially like that it eliminates a lot of the prep work most salsas call for. One suggestion is to refrigerate the salsa before serving it. It really helps the ingredients meld and makes for very tasty salsa. Also, I like to add a little more salt than what the recipe calls for but not until I'm ready to serve it.<\/p>","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"06\/28\/2010 18:21","GUID":"d1461b0526114c0982bf580cf61023f9","MemberId":1563417,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"anadlynn1","SubmittedDate":"06\/28\/2010 18:21"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"07\/26\/2008 15:05","GUID":"6B83B8D5976F497992C4EB33976C684E","MemberId":783822,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"smalltowngirl_VA","SubmittedDate":"07\/26\/2008 15:05"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"04\/12\/2007 12:07","GUID":"326e52907d744dcea1717d1adb5b11e5","MemberId":1394087,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lmbrennan","SubmittedDate":"04\/12\/2007 12:07"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
