homemade salsa using fresh tomatoes

i never measure when i cook, so i don't have exact measurements on this.  it's all to taste really.  and will really depend on how many tomatoes and peppers you have.  here is the basic recipe i use:

• fresh tomoatoes (boil for 1 min, ice bath, peel skins)
• green chilies
• chopped onion
• minced garlic clove(s)
• jalapeno(s), quarted then sliced, keeping seeds (you are brave you can take the spice!)
• pinch or two of sugar
• pinch or two of salt
• pinch ground cumin
• fresh cilantro (to taste)
• juice from a fresh lime (half to whole)

add everything to your blender or food processor,  mix till you get the consistency you like! 

if you are planning to can your salsa, make sure you sterilize jars and lids.  add salsa to jars leaving 1/4 inch from top.  add jars to boiling water bath.  boil 15 minutes.  take jars out of bath, and set on counter for 12-24 hours.

enjoy!!
