Show Me The Salsa!!!

great ketchup substitute!

Easy to make, goes well with almost anything, healthy and fat-free are some of the many attributes of salsa. I usually keep a jar of our homemade salsa on hand as it also keeps well in the fridge and actually improves over time. Of course, we consume about a jar a month, so I haven't really tested if it can keep beyond that.

As there are MANY variations of one of the word's favorite condiment (next to ketchup) I'd like to share with you our quick and easy version.

the recipe below is for about 800 grams of salsa
(about 28 ounces)

For this salsa, you will need (if you have a food processor, or a chopper, chop everything up together after the prep work):

Ingredients:

• 2 c tomatoes, seeded and chopped
• 1 c white onions, chopped
• 1c pickled jalapenos, cored, seeded and chopped
• 3 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 c tomato sauce
• 2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust heat to your own liking)
• salt to taste

**optional: 2 tbsp of finely chopped cilantro. I love this but Phil isn't a fan Ü

prep work before I chop em all up

we're partial to jalapenos but you can add almost any kind of
 pepper (capsicum) for heat. I also add some of the jalapeno's
 pickling solution  (about 2 tbsp) to preserve the salsa

After chopping everything up, put everything in a bowl, mix in the tomato sauce and hot sauce and season with salt. Give it all a stir and ole! We have salsa Ü
