I disolve it in 4 cups of the liquid from the cooking salsa, then add it back in. It helps thicken the salsa and takes less time to boil it down to a thick salsa. Plus it doesn't alter the taste of your salsa. I use clear jel in salsa all the time. I disolve it in 4 cups of the liquid from the cooking salsa, then add it back in.

Thickening will increase the density of the salsa so heat cannot penetrate the center of the jar to kill potential pathogens. you can safely thicken canned salsa after you open the jar.

I have never tried it though, so I would say try it in a small amount. Mix the Clear Jel with some sugar and then stir into your salsa. Be sure to use a Clear Jel that works in cold or hot liquids. Let me know how it goes! Hmm…I think it may be a little weird in salsa. I have never tried it though, so I would say try it in a small amount.
