Mrs. Wages Salsa Mix

A friend gave me this package of Mrs. Wages Salsa mix and it has just been sitting in my cupboard. I saw it the other day and thought since I have an overabundance of tomatoes right now it might be a good time to try it out.

I followed the directions exactly on the package - it was super easy to do. I weighed out my tomatoes, skinned them and then cut them up. Then you just have to add the mix, vinegar (I used cider) and cook. If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can even use canned tomatoes.

There is nothing artificial in the ingredients that I could see - just seems to be dehydrated vegetables and seasonings.

It tastes as good as my own salsa and I didn't have to mess with the seasonings a zillion times and I only had to cut up tomatoes and not onions, peppers and garlic.

This is what the finished salsa looks like.

I will probably continue to make my salsa totally from scratch but if you want to make a batch of "homemade salsa" without using everything from scratch -this will definitely do.

Good morning Kathi! I just wanted to say thank you for the kind words regarding Mrs. Wages Salsa Mix. I work for the company (Precision Foods) that manufactures it. We're really proud of the mix and am thrilled you liked the salsa. We also make some other products for tomatoes (in case you still have some on hand :), like a pasta sauce mix. And in case your family loves pickles we sell a number of pickling mixes. Anyway just wanted to reach out and say thanks!! Hope you have a great day. Janet Brooks
