tasunkawitkohm - that looks like great salsa verde! tomatillas aren't very availabile up here, but i will see if i can find some....
when you put the salsa in canning jars, did you do a boiling water bath, or is that necessary?
thanks for posting!

hm1996It usually doesn't last too long around our house by the time we distribute among friends & family so just keep it in the refrigerator so we do not bother to put in boiling water.
While the tomatillos are a
lot drier than regular tomatoes, I wonder how
really green tomatoes would work if tomatillos not available? I would sure give it a try if I couldn't get the tomatillos, but would pare down the size of the batch a bit
.

hm1996Have never tried the green tomatoes but don't know why they wouldn't work. Good idea to do a smaller batch. One thing I would watch is the tomatillos have no juice when cut so I'd dump any juice if present in the regular tomaoes. There is sufficient liquid in the pulp of the tomatillos.
Feel free to use the recipe any way you wish. Let me know how the green tomatoes work out as the husk tomatoes are quite a lot of work to de-husk and they have a waxy substance on the skin under the husk that is a bit difficult to wash off. Green tomatoes would be a little easier.
Enjoy!

tasunkawitkothanks, hm!
if you had to choose, would you say this is more of a mexican thing or more of a texas/southwest-US thing? gotta get it in the right "region!"

hm1996If I had to guess, I would say Mexican.

lavacaThe hot sauce is good. HM 1996 is my father so I'm speaking from experience. You need ventilation when you are making this stuff. You put that in the food processor and it will bring tears to your eyes and make it hard to breathe. It's worth it though.
