Homemade Salsa
about 1 quart
2 lbs or so of tomatoes. Chopped, it should be about half a blender full
1/2 onion, cut into chunks
1 - 2 t fresh, minced garlic
1/2 - 2 small jalapeno peppers (I often use jarred, sliced jalapeno's since we have them on hand all the time)
1 - 2 t honey (I use sugar free as well and it works great)
1/2 - 3/4 t salt
1/2 t cumin
1 T lime juice (approximate - how limey do you like it? I use the juice of 1 lime)
Cilantro or Parsley - about a tablespoon or two dried or a small handful fresh
Place everything in a blender or food processor and process by pulsing just until blended. Longer for smooth and shorter for more coarse texture. Taste... adjust accordingly with pepper, salt, lime, etc. Serve with tortilla chips. I store in a quart jar in the refrigerator.
