Last year I had an abundance of tomatoes that I didn't have jars enough for. I made quite a few batches of salsa, using those store-bought spice packets. I made it and froze it in bags. When I thaw them out, they are super watery.
My question is: Is there a way to turn the frozen salsa into canned salsa and somehow thicken it? If I canned it would it thicken automatically without my adding anything to it, or would I have to add more ingredients?
Thanks for any advice or suggestions. Rebecca

My guess would be to reheat the salsa, cook it down to the stage you want then can it as usual.

Drain the water, ad some tomato paste and cook it down a little.

If you add about 1 heaping TBL of dried beans to a pint jar of the salsa. Then pressure can 10 lbs pressure for 90 minutes. The beans will cook using the liquid in the salsa which will thicken it up nicely.

.......10 lbs. pressure IF that is the correct pressure for your altitude calfkeeper (for instance, for us here it's 12 lbs., so be sure to check).
