Notes/Tips
Freezer Meal Instructions:
To Freeze:
Put cooled salsa in freezer jars (or bags). Be sure to leave at least an inch at the top of a jar, because it will expand when frozen.
To Prepare:
Place in the refrigerator until thawed. Serve and enjoy!

Great to hear this feedback, Geri! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. What a great idea to make this for Christmas presents.
If you’re going to freeze your salsa do you need to use corn on the cob or can you use canned corn thank you
I don’t think it would matter which one.
mine was also very “soupy”…good flavor though…hoping it will thicken some what when it cools
girls,
my batch came out very runny, doesn’t look like yours. I had to drain off more than 2 cups of liquid because I didn’t want soup…..did you prep your tomatoes any different way, like de=seed or take the skins off?
p.
Ah shucks. Sorry to hear that. We didn’t take the skins off but I do remember squeezing some of the seeds out. It might have been that our tomatoes were just less juicy than yours, too. How was the flavor?
