(15,882 posts)I looked up one quick recipe
1 1/2 quarts peeled chopped seeded tomatoes (about 4lbs)
12 jalapenos or 12 hot chili peppers, diced
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1 - Place in 4 quart saucepan, and simmer until reduced to 1 quart.
2 - (Measure 1 quart water into saucepan in advance, and mark on outside of pan, to help you judge).
3 - The cans at the grocers are 10oz in size, so freeze in 1 cup portions.
4 - This way you can adjust the hot peppers to suit yourself, and making small batches is so easy!
5 - Remember, freezing makes the peppers hotter.

I don't freeze anything. The recipe above makes a little over a quart at a time, so I just fridge it and eat it fairly soon. I suspect nearly any variety of canned tomatoes and jalapeños would work. I do grow some tomatoes, but it takes so long to peel and crush and cut the garlic and pull the leaves off of the parsley and cut it that I use Rotel as a shortcut.
You could always cut it in half, try it and see what you think with different kinds.
