Hi Michelle, Have you thought about squeezing out the seeds that might help. Good luck Hugs Cyndie -------Original Message------- From: onegentlesoul Date: 8/21/2008 5:04:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [quick_vegetarian] Re: home made salsa You may want to try using a different type of tomato. If you are using a slicer type tomato, it will have more water to it than a paste tomato which is meatier.
If you can get your hands on Amish Paste, San Marzano that might be found on a farm or at a farmers market, or even Roma tomatoes at a grocery store & use them, this should pretty well take care of the watery problem. Another option is to try adding some tomatoe paste to your mix for a thicker (+ richer tasting) salsa.
