Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 1 kg fresh tomatillos, husks removed
  • 1 small onion not peeled or quartered
  • 4 cloves of garlic peeled
  • ¼ cup 60 ml fresh lime juice (roughly three fresh limes)
  • 5-7 canned chipotle peppers 1 7 oz can of chipotles in adobo, with sauce
  • ½ tsp 2 ml salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Arrange tomatillos (stem side down) and onion quarters (skin side down) on a large rimmed baking sheet. Wrap garlic cloves in a small piece of aluminum foil and place the foil pouch in one corner of the baking sheet.
  • Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes or until the tomatillos and onions begin to char and soften. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool. When cool enough to handle, place in a food processor. Do not peel the roasted tomatillos; puree them whole.
  • Add lime juice, chipotle peppers, and salt to the food processor. Process until pureed.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large stainless steel or enameled saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
  • Ladle hot salsa into hot jars, leaving half an inch of headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe jar rims, center lids on jars, and adjust bands to fingertip-tight.
  • Place jars in a boiling water canner. Process for 25 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Turn off heat, remove lid, and let jars stand for five minutes. Remove jars and cool.
