Even the Relish King grew his own product. Either way, I'll probably buy a case from you if price isn't outrageous. There are an untold numbers of ways to make salsa. I think mine is the best.

jd_ Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 One thing to check will be the PH level. I think the test strips are pretty cheap. I think it's around 4 or below for shelf stable. Maybe less if you are using raw garlic or onion in there. At least you could see where it is at. The co packers that dingo mentioned would help with that too, but may have to add stuff to recipe. Good luck with whatever you decide. I'll send info tonight and would help any if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 1 hour ago, housepicks said: I’ll need a year shelf like and produce in summer when tomato prices are low. McDonald’s doesn’t grow their own potato’s I don’t think I need to become a tomato farmer. The salsa isn’t exactly thin. I good 15% of the product is gonna be water to get to desired consistency. Add xanthan gum to your recipe,it’s a stabilizer and prevents the salsa from separating. Talk to a produce wholesaler and see if they have cooking tomatoes . People here run kitchens out of their homes and sell at farmer’s markets etc.,that’s a good way to start but you have to have a business plan to scale up the business otherwise it probably won’t be worthwhile good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I would look into selling at farmers market to start. And basically see how it goes. Minimal investment I would assume. You'd basically renting a booth/table whatever. And it would help you get feedback on your product. If you're selling out every weekend and making a decent profit then you'll know it might be time to take it up a notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister has frequently made home made salsa for various gatherings, she'll talk about how much time she put into making it and how expensive all the ingredients were, no one has the heart to tell her it's pretty bad.
