Homemade salsa

Easy and yummy!  Sometimes Sugar and Spice even have it for lunch, with a cheese stick on the side.  I get asked for the recipe a lot, so I figured I'd share.  I make salsa from canned whole tomatoes in the winter, and fresh roma tomatoes in the summer.  I always use red onions, jalapenos, cilantro, and cider vinegar.  Sometimes I add a tiny bit of grated garlic....

I start by cutting the tomatoes and taking all the insides out, then I leave them to drain a little bit so they won't be too wet.

I cut them into thin strips, and then into tiny cubes

 

Then I prepare the other ingredients...

I use a chopper for the red onion and jalapeno

pick the cilantro leaves off the stems and roughly chop them

Then I grate the garlic

and I add a little bit of cider vinegar, and mix it all up. Done!!

The taste improves over time, and sometimes I add more jalapeno for my husband's batch.  Next I'm going to try spraying a little lime juice on the tortilla chips before eating them with salsa :-)

Yummy!
