Cheryl has been making salsa for a long time – in fact, as near as we can figure, this journey started somewhere around 2001 or 2002. Since the very first batches made in her west-end Ottawa home with the help of her children, she’s been refining the recipe and sharing the results with family and friends.

Every year, those family members and friends kept telling her how darned good it is … and that “you should be selling this stuff”. So in early 2019, she finally took the leap and launched Mom’s Homemade style salsa.

With the assistance of family, friends and the kind folks at Mrs. McGarrigle’s in Merrickville (a wonderful shop you’ve really gotta check out), Cheryl created her first batches to share with you and your families through a select group of specialty shops in and around Ottawa. 

Within a few months, our three initial varieties (Mild, Medium and Hot) were available on local store shelves and at select Markets, Fairs and other Special Events. Now, we’ve added our seasonal super spicy Mom’s Wrath blend (when we can source the ripping hot Carolina Reaper peppers that make it so hot).
