During a casual conversation with my friend Rachel, she mentioned that she was going to finish up some of her tomatoes by making salsa. I got the recipe from her and tried it immediately. Well, I had to finish up the abundant tomatoes from the garden and this was an easy way. There are a couple of extra steps compared to the usual way I make it, but it is totally worth it. She also sent me a bottle of the salsa she made in the cute jar. I had to fill it up with my salsa and click because the bottle looked cute.

- jalapeno - 1 - 2 (seeds removed)
- cilantro - 1/2 cup - packed
- garlic - 2 cloves
- tomatoes - 4 cups (blanched and chopped into big chunks)
- salt - to taste
Instructions:
Blanch the tomatoes, remove skin and chop coarsely. Allow to rest for 30 min to an hour.
Chop onion, bell peppers, jalapeno, cilantro and garlic in a food processor. Add the drained tomatoes and salt to the vegetables and process until required consistency is obtained.

1. Do not throw away the juice after draining tomatoes. It tastes great with sugar. You can also add salt and pepper instead of sugar.
