Roasted Salsa Verde

My husband is a produce guy and brought home a case of tomatillos. He only needed 10 of the 25lbs box for his customer. He was going to give them away and I jumped in and said I wanted to use them. I thought I had a recipe for tomatillo jam somewhere... but alas, I couldn't find it. So... what to do with all these tomatillos?

I decided to make some salsa. I took out a 12x18 jelly roll pan and filled it with a single layer of peeled, halved tomatillos. Place under a broiler until nicely browned. I then put the tomatillos in the food processor and re-filled the pan with half a head of peeled garlic, 1 large onion, cut into 8ths, a large green pepper, cut into chunks, 2 large jalapenos cut in half and the rest of the pan with halved roma tomatoes. Broil like the last pan. After pureeing both batches of roasted veggies I pureed a can of peaches to help off-set the tartness of the tomatillos. Stir all together and add a touch of sea salt. YUMMY!

Makes about 8 cups of salsa. I took this with some chips to a Super Bowl party tonight. I plan on using some of this salsa for enchiladas later in the week and will probably freeze the rest.

What do you do with tomatillas? I still have about 10 pounds left. lol
