Roasted Tomato Tomatillo Salsa Recipe
I made this Roasted Tomato Tomatillo Salsa recipe to celebrate this years Can It Forward Day event. This years Can It Forward Day event included a special "can off" competition.
A few select bloggers like myself had a chance to try out the Ball® FreshTECH HarvestPro™ Sauce Maker and submit a canning recipe using tomatoes and the new Ball® FreshTECH HarvestPro™ Sauce Maker.
The Ball test kitchen will make each recipe and pick their favorite submitted recipe and demo it live during Can It Forward Day! Isn't that exciting! Be sure to tune in for the Can It Forward live event so you can see which lucky blogger will win the "can off".
