Homemade Salsa









INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 cans (28 ounce) diced tomatoes (fresh works even better!)
  • 1 can (28 ounce) tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (3 if you really like garlic)
  • 2 bunches fresh cilantro
  • 3 chili peppers
  • 6 jalapenos (for "medium" salsa, de-seed 3 of the jalapenos)
  • 1 sweet onion
  • salt and pepper, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Cut and de-seed jalapenos and peppers. Pulse jalapenos, peppers and onion in processor.
  2. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce and pulse in processor.
  3. Cut stems off of cilantro. Add cilantro, garlic, and salt and pepper to mix and pulse to desired consistency.
Side notes:
  • I have a small food processor, so I have to pulse small amounts at a time and add them to a big bowl.
  • This recipe makes a lot of salsa! Be ready to give some away or bring some to a party.
  • There is not an exact science to this recipe so it's hard to mess it up!
