Peeling peppes for salsa

Posted by jennieboyer 8 (My Page) on

I am getting ready to make some salsa for canning. I will be using jalepenos and long green chilis. Do they need to be peeled prior to using? If so, can I microwave or steam them for peeling? What is the easiest way to do this?

Thanks in advance!

I don't peel peppers when I make salsa. Tomatoes - yes, but not the peppers.

I don't peel peppers either.

I don't peel either, but IF you wanted to, you can roast or grill until the skins are blackened, put in a bag or cover with towels to let them steam for 15-20 minutes.

Then peel and chop per your recipe. It does add another dimension to the salsa with roasted peppers.
Just too much for me to bother when I've got all the other prep to do!
