Picante Sauce
Ingredients
Units Scale
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 ounce)
- 10 ounces water
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 fresh jalapeño peppers (with seeds, minced (I only had jarred peppers and they also worked great))
- 1/4 cup jalapeño juice from a jar of pickled jalapeños (or use white vinegar if you don’t want so much spiciness)
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon lime pepper
Instructions
- Bring all ingredients to a boil in saucepan over med-high heat.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 60 minutes or until thick.
- Remove from heat and cool.
- Store in an airtight jar in refrigerator until serving. You can also make a large batch and freeze it in smaller portions for later which is what we are doing.
Notes
might try throwing in a green bell pepper next time just because I always thought they were in the Pace salsa in the past…but perhaps not. It definitely tastes like the real thing though and your kitchen will smell great afterwards 
And this is absolutely a great way to get rid of some tomatoes if you use fresh crushed tomatoes instead which I imagine I will need to do when we start harvesting our own tomatoes which will likely be numerous
