Using Spices in Salsa Recipe? Smoked Paprika?

Posted by DianaInIdaho none (My Page) on

Would it be OK to add a Tablespoon of smoke paprika to our salsa recipe?

Originally, we were considering roasting the peppers, but we're concerned that we won't be able to maintain the proper tomato/pepper ratio due to measurement change after roasting.

I've read that it's ok to add spices to salsa recipes--would this include smoked paprika?

Has anyone tried this?
Thanks for any advice!

You can add dry spices. I don't know how large your recipe is, but a tablespoon sounds like a lot of paprika to me. Remember that some spices can become bitter and/or stronger during canning.

You might try a batch with a bit less paprika. You can always add it after opening.

Thanks Deanna!

Our recipe makes 7-8 pints, so I'll start with a teaspoon, taste and go from there.
