Homeade Salsa

I never thought about how easy salsa is to make.  But with an abundance of tomatoes from the garden, I made some.  Of course, I had to look up "Pioneer Woman's" recipe.  She used canned tomatoes.   Other than that, I followed most of her recipe. Give it a try!


Combine all of the following in your food processor:

4-5 tomatoes, skins removed and chopped in large chunks
1/4 cup chopped onion (sweet or red)
1 clove garlic, minced (or more)
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno, quartered and sliced (leave seeds in if you want heat)
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup cilantro (more if you like)
1/2 lime, juiced

Pulse until you get the consistency you like.  Taste and adjust seasonings.
Refrigerate for at least an hour for flavors to blend.  Serve with tortilla chips.
