Salsa: Glass or Can

Who doesn't like salsa on a camp trip?  No one I know!  One thing we consistently try to avoid is packing glass bottles of anything.  Cans are the way to go for us.  It's EZPZ for a glass bottle to break and well...that's not a good thing on a camping trip.

Salsa has never been sold in a can.  It's ALWAYS in glass bottles.  But you CAN get close in a can.  Check out something generally called "Fire Roasted Tomatoes Salsa Style."  It's not easy to find and it's not ordinarily cheap either.

But once in awhile, we get lucky.  Who doesn't love gittin' lucky?  Today we found a digital coupon at Albertson's for $1.04 for a 14.5 ounce can of the Good Stuff.

We generally add some dried chile flakes, dried hot chile powder, cumin powder, dried oregano and maybe some granulated garlic to this canned stuff.  Of course that depends on who we're camping with.  Some folks don't like the hot stuff.  We forgive them.

This stuff easily passes for salsa right out of the can so adding all of the above could be redundant.  YMMV.

Anyway, we're fully stocked up on canned salsa for our next camping trip.  It's wonderful peace of mind not to have to worry about a glass bottle breaking.  Ugh.
