SALSA MY WAY

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in large pot - bring to a rolling boil - turn down heat - Cook 20 minutes. - Pour into a sterile glass gallon jar. Put into the fridge and serve at will. This lasts us about 2 weeks. I guess that you could put this in pint jars and can them if you like. -- You will find that I did not include cilantro in this recipe. I am allergic to it. It tastes and smells like ivory soap to me and then I bloat out and have to go to the hosptial. You may want to use a tablespoon or more of fresh chopped cilantro in your recipe. ------ ------ Leaving everything raw will result in a salsa with a bright, refreshing taste. Raw salsa is also known as "salsa cruda." - Roasting the tomatoes, garlic and/or chiles first will lend a rich, smoky flavor to your finished dish. - If you cook the salsa, you'll trade in the fresh taste for a deeper, sweeter one. --My NOTE-- I use the liquid, if I use 6 cans of diced tomatoes - I use the liquid in the cans. If I use fresh tomatoes, I save the juice off of them. I prefer a thin sauced chunky salsa. It is for this reason I do not use a food processer or tomato sauce in the recipe. Its the way La Casa(??) made it before they closed their door. And yes I know their is a brand out there called that, but it came out after this place closed up and it is not the same...
