Making and Canning Homemade Ro Tel ~ Noreen's Kitchen

Greetings! Canning season is in full swing in my neck of the woods. Today I am making and canning, homemade Ro-Tel. For those of you who may not be familiar with Ro-tel, it is a delicious combo of tomatoes and green chilies. Usually used to enhance a chili recipe or most popularly to add to a nacho dip along with some processed cheese.
I was able to source some Hatch green chilies and for anyone who is from the southwest knows, this is the time of year for those mild, fragrant chilies. In New Mexico and Arizona you can find farmer's markets overflowing to the brim with bushels upon bushels of these beautiful green chilies. You will also find chili roasters which look like large mesh drums turned on their side and set over an open flame, usually a gas or propane flame, but I have seen them done over wood fueled fires. The roaster will fill the drum with fresh Hatch chilies and begin to turn it, tumbling the chilies over the flame, making them dance. In a short amount of time the chilies have turned black and blistered. This is when they are turned out and allowed to steam so the skin can be easily removed. In many cases, the peppers are placed in plastic bags and sold while hot. By the time you get them home they can easily slip out of their skins. Such fond memories of the southwest and the smell is intoxicating. Nothing like chili season in New Mexico and Arizona!
Home grown tomatoes are the base for my Ro-tel along with those green chilies and some onions. In order to maintain the proper PH for waterbath canning, I have added some white vinegar (you can use cider if you choose) some sugar and a bit of canning salt. Simmered a good long time and then jarred up and ready to process.
I am using Tattler lids for the first time today. After many years of wanting to try them and actually having been gifted a couple of boxes over the last couple of years, I was just a big chicken. Just like with my pressure canner, I was going kicking and screaming. However with recent changes to the Ball jar lids I have become aware that it was time to give these Tattler reusable lids a try. I will be doing another video with my thoughts on the process. In the end I love them!
So that is how I made my homemade Ro-tel tomatoes and chilies. Super simple and delicious. I grew all of my tomatoes and spent less than ten dollars on the chilies and onions. Over all, I am very pleased to now have 16 pints of this homemade goodness on my shelf. It will be used in so many of our favorite meals!
I hope you give this a try and I hope you love it!
DISCLAIMER: This recipe is one of my own originals. I researched salsa recipes to determine the amounts of the vegetables and the acid as well as the processing time. If you choose to can this recipe, you do so at your own risk. We had no problems. If you are new to canning, please research before attempting.
Happy Canning!

I've never been happy with the off brains and this will be a big money saver to our 3 households. Enjoy your channel and the canning and hopefully next year I will have a pressure canner and attempt more things if I can get past the fear of the thing. Thanks for all you do.

I love this idea! A couple of things I have learned about Tattler lids is that you do tighten the rings when you take them out of the canner. Also, you can write on the lids with a magic marker and then take it off we polish remover. I have done it several times.

@pricklypear7934 9 жыл бұрын

I'm a Texas native and we have had Rotel all of my life! The original & mild are my "go-to's". These are great for pot of beans, Mexican rice, chili, a base for hot sauces, spicy spaghetties (when one can not afford to make or buy Italian sausages), burrito meat bases, baked/roasted potato chunks, Southwest corn breads/muffins, for when you make 'stoups' (not quite a stew and not quite a soup), etc. The mild is really good for queso. Just add milk and cheese of your liking. It's most commonly used in Velveeta. Now, I have been eating hot for most of my adult life and I can tell you that I can not handle the spicy flavor. I taught myself how to cook and Rotel was a staple, because we could not afford fresh veggies. I was cooking on $35 a month. Lots of beans and rice and...Rotel! Thank you for this video. It hits home!

@matthewhuerta5831 Жыл бұрын

YES because hot tastes like they only added cheap salsa to the mix. Trust me if they made actually spicy Rotel with its original flavor. Then it would be hot all the way.

Thank you, I was going to the store to buy some Rotel for a pasta salad I wasn't looking for this recipe but I just grabbed my tablet & this came up in my recommended videos! Also, I made your strawberry cheesecake ice cream, its much better than the popular store bought brands! Rotel is sold in different varieties where I live, my sister likes the cilantro and lime flavor. And you are right, it is available nationwide.

@petuniaprimrose7915 9 жыл бұрын

I have bought Rotel for over 40 years in the South in the winter, and the North in the summer, great idea, I buy the mild, and use it with a can of petite diced tomatoes because I cannot have the heat, but I love the flavor.
