?Delicious,? raves Karen Jobb. ?Could not stop eating out of the blender. Roasted the tomatillos on a BBQ grill while cooking chicken. Added two roasted jalape?os for a little more kick. This will be in regular rotation for sure.?

?Loved the recipe,? says Alexsandra Solvin. ?Here?s what I did differently: I roasted all the veggies and added extra cilantro. Made 15 pints. Will definitely use this recipe again next year!?

?Delicious,? according to cambridge219. ?I blended the ingredients before I cooked them as others suggested and it was wonderful. I put it on pork chops, chicken and used it as a dip. So easy to make.?
