Homemade Salsa

Salsa in a jar is fine, but this is so much better and really not that much more difficult.  I use a food processor, but if you don't have one you can use a blender.  Give it a try!

Ingredients
  • 14.5oz can tomatoes & green chiles
  • 14.5oz can whole peeled tomatoes, plus the juice
  • 1T + 1tsp diced jalapenos (from a jar)
  • 1/4 C yellow onion, diced
  • 3/4 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp. cuman
  • 1/4 tsp. sugar
Place the jalapenos and onions in a food processor and process for a few seconds.  Add the rest of the ingredients and process until blended but not pureed (it should be a little chunky).  Place in a covered container and chill for a couple of hours (if possible - if you eat it right away it'll be fine, but a little bit of chilling lets the flavors blend).

**I don't like my salsa to be too spicy; this has just enough of a kick for me.  If you like it really hot, just add some more jalapenos, to taste.**
