Mexican Chili – Roasted Salsa – My aunt Laverne was a beautiful Mexican woman who I loved dearly. She used to make and can (preserve) the best salsa I have ever tasted. Our family nicknamed it “Mexican Chili,” and that is the name it still carries in her honor. She moved away, halfway across the US, when I was younger, and unfortunately, she passed away many years ago. I tried unsuccessfully to get her recipe from her children, but no one had it. I created this recipe in her honor.
