Stylicious Pear Salsa

This tasty salsa is not only great with chips but is even more enjoyable over baked brie served with Cristini's and/or crackers.  Bring this out at your next function and your guests will love it and they will also appreciate that it was homemade.

Ingredients:

• 9 cups of chopped, seeded Tomatoes (drain as much liquid as possible)
• 6 cups of chopped Pears (remove skin and core)
• 1 package of Bernardin Salsa Mix
• 2 Jalapeno Peppers chopped and seeded (optional)

Directions:

• Combine all ingredients into a large saucepan, stir constantly, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.  Reduce heat and continue cooking until mixture is cooked through.
• Preserve ingredients into hot mason jars, leaving 1/2" head space.  Makes 12 x 250 ml jars.  Watch out for our next blog on "How to Preserve" for proper preserving techniques.
• Or refrigerate after mixture has cooled.  You can store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for 1 year.

Enjoy!
