We are nearing the end of the traditional growing season here in Indiana and something we always miss at summer's end is fresh Indiana tomatoes. One of our director's favorite moments each year is that first bite of a tomato picked off her plants. Still warm from the sun and filled with that earthy, sweet smell of the plant.

Red Gold Salsa

For years, home cooks have preserved and prolonged the taste of summer tomatoes through canning, freezing or making salsa. Recipes for salsa are like recipes for chili - everyone has one they have made their own and for most of us, its in our heads. We like ours with a lot of fresh cilantro and mild heat. Its almost better after it has had a chance to age in the jar for a few months after being processed.

These days though we find ourselves making salsa using this *FAST RECIPE* [ [link removed] ] from Red Gold Tomatoes. Utilizing a blender, you can easily make this in less than 10 minutes. If you have ever watched one of the cooking demonstrations on the *INDIANA GROWN CULINARY STAGE* [ [link removed] ] at the *INDIANA STATE FAIR* [ [link removed] ] you will see salsa being made no less than 10 times throughout the 17-day run.

You can utilize fresh, seasonal Indiana favorites to make these salsa recipes, or pop open a jar made by an Indiana Grown member like *RED GOLD TOMATOES* [ [link removed] ], *SAY IT AIN'T SALSA* [ [link removed] ] or *CRAZY CHARLIE'S SALSA* [ [link removed] ].
