I made some salsa verde last weekend.

I got about two pounds of tomatillos from the store - they weren't the best looking, but they aren't in season yet at least in my clime. But sometimes you just gotta have home made salsa verde.

I depapered and roasted the tomatillos with about six jalapenos and five cloves of garlic.

When everything was nice and soft and guishy, I popped it in the food processor with a heap of coriander leaf/cilantro, and a good dash of salt and pepper. Gave it a good whizz and there I was.

I slow cooked some chicken in it with some onions for dinner that night - excellent.

The remainder went into a mason jar (filled it quite nicely) and into the fridge.

Well, apparently, these particular tomatillos had quite a bit of natural pectin in them. As when I opened the jar today and went to pour some out into a dish...

Nothing.

So I showed my wife that I'd made jelly. By pretending to dump the jar on top of her head.

She flinched.

But y'all knew I was evil.

The moral of the story is... mmmm pectin.
