Does anyone know how to cool down some hot salsa. I made it and canned it in a hot water bath but it is way too hot for me. I sure am hoping there is a way to cool it down. Other than being hot it is an awesome salsa.

I make a fresh Salsa and when it's too hot, I just add more tomatoes and other non hot ingredients

Its already canned. Not really sure what to do.

and the longer its sits the hotter it will get. it ages.

this won't help now that it's canned but if I am eating salsa and it is too warm for my tastes, I mix it with Ranch dressing. It gives it a wonderful, creamy flavor.

Like the ranch dressing, sour cream will cool it down. Otherwise, serving over rice will help. In the meantime, mark the jars as HOT and mix in a jar of canned tomatoes when you open them.

Thank you everyone. My sister told me about the Ranch Dressing but I thought she was nuts. LOL!

You could have sour cream on the side. Dairy helps to stop the burning after biting into a hot pepper.

I would mix sour cream.

I believe a spoonful of sugar helps
