Cook Tomatillos and jalapeño together in a small amont of water (or steam) until color changes (Tomatillos will turn a tannish yellow).
8 good sized fresh Tomatillas, 1 fresh jalapeño stem removed
Drain any excess water, save water and set aside.
Place the Tomatillos and pepper into a food processor or blender along with the garlic, onion, lime juice and spices.
1 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, 1 medium sized sweet onion, 1 Tablespoon bottled Lime juice, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon coriander seed, ½ teaspoon Salt
Blend for 20 seconds or until desired consistency is achieved.
The cooking water may be added, as needed to thin salsa down, if required.
Salt to taste.
Makes approximately 3 pints.
Notes
Lemon juice or cider vinegar can be substituted for the lime juice but lime juice is far superior. (We really don't like the vinegar and suggest you use the lime juice.)You can substitute 2 28 oz cans of tomatillos for fresh but fresh is better.Makes 3 pints. Recipe can be multiplied, but don't do more than 2 times the recipe. Test lids for seal. Press center of lid down in the middle. If it flexes up and down, jar is not sealed. If lids have not sealed, store those jars in refrigerator and consume those jars first. Store in a cool place.
