A lot came due at once so I didn’t have time for any test batches.
My salsa last year sucked ass. Hoping for something kinda like Mateo’s salsa from Costco if y’all know that kinda thing. The taste moreso than a specific texture. I’m fine with anything that isn’t watery.
Probably something roasted would be good! Chunky is always cool with me!
Any suggestions on a guide for canning it too? I have a canning setup I’ve done for pickles but know that’s a different game to can salsa.

Salsa fruit goes into salsa hole then press salsa button
I am confused by your ingredients.
Get some arbols, find some jalapeños and get to roasting. Salt. Cumin. Write it all down. Enjoy!
Mateo’s uses cumin in their salsa. It’s not my favorite but it lends to the distinctive flavor. I like to stick the veg on a sheet tray, stick them under the broiler for a couple minutes to get some color/char before dumping in blender or molcajete. It’s a lot easier to over-onion or over-garlic than you might think. I say that as someone who does it constantly. You need a source of acid. I like lime but you could probably get away with a little bit of vinegar if you’re looking for something like Mateo’s. Salt to taste; you’re done.
Good luck!

Don’t add those bananas.
My go to recipe is this:
7 Romas
1/3 white onion / 1/2 small white onion
3 jalapenos
1 can diced tomatoes
Chicken bullion powder
Salt
Garlic powder
Char all veggies quite heavily. Blend the can of tomatoes + 1/2 of everything else + seasonings until fully liquid. Then pulse the blender for the rest of the ingredients, taking care to never let it get up to full speed.
If you want more heat, serranos work great.
I just roast some tomatoes, white onions, and peppers then blend them with some salt, lime juice, some fresh peppers, and cilantro. I usually use serranos but jalapeños or habanero peppers are good too.
