I have only had it fresh, but love it. Have searched the web for recipes for canning but no luck. Anyone here make it and can it? If so, wanna share your recipe? Or point me to a site that has some canning recipes for it. Thanks
Not sure if this will work for you, but I suppose you could plug in your own ingredients. I believe the canning procedure is most important to avoid illness. http://forfood.rezimo.com/?p=712

Pico is "fresh salsa" and since there is no vinegar or acids in it it would have to.be cooked to kill enzymes either before canning or on a pressure cooker after it's in the jar. But the very fact that you would have to cook it changes it from pico to salsa. It no longer would have the same texture as pico. Go figure.
When I just gotta have it in the winter I search for the best looking Romas I can find and grimacing, pay the price.
Unfortunately if it's not fresh, then it's not pico de gallo. Just make salsa with the same ingredients that give pico de gallo it's flavor. Like cilantro, lime juice, etc, and just understand that it's not going to taste fresh.
All the ingredients other than maybe the chili's are subject to botulism if not processed properly.
I too wish there was another way, because I love pico myself.
Yeah I guess it would be salsa really, being that you have to cook it. I love Pico, just wish there was a way to preserve it. Spent 10 years in El Paso and fresh pico was at every restaurant you went to. Sure miss that.
I guess I can honestly say I have never had Pico.. I have made fresh and canned salsa right from the garden. So it sounds to be about the same...................I just don't know

What are the items you can not get in the winter? You might have a source here in San Diego - USPS overnite is not that expensive
