Picante Sauce

You can buy this stuff in the store, but it'll be more expensive and never as good. This picante sauce made with simmered tomato, onion, and jalapeno is awesome with tortilla chips or great on burritos and quesadillas.

ingredients
1 can (10.75 ounce size) tomato puree
1 1/3 cup water
1/3 cup chopped Spanish onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh jalapeno peppers, with seeds
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt, rounded
1/4 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic
directions
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until thick. When cool, place in jar or bottle and refrigerate overnight.
cook's notes
This is a mild to medium version. For extra mild, reduce jalapenos to a tablespoon. For medium hot, use a 1/4 cup of habanero peppers in addition to the jalapenos. For the HOT version of the salsa, use 1/2 cup each of habanero and jalapeno.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

I used homemade tomato puree but followed the recipe exactly otherwise. This was a very, very good picante sauce. And very easy to make. My husband suggested we use it as a base recipe for taco sauce too by pureeing it all in the blender and adding cumin so I think I'll try that as well since it really was flavorful and fresh tasting.
