Our favorite salsa!

fantastic salsa! I have also thrown a habenero into this to kick the heat up even more...my wife loves this...will make on a weekly basis!

This was a great recipe! I did make a few modifications. I took the suggestions of other reviewers and added a large handful of chopped fresh celentro and the juice of half a lime. To fit my families tastes I only used 2 jalapenos, 3 cloves of garlic and half the sugar. Also, I did not put this in the blender. I hand chopped all of the ingredients for a chunky, less watery salsa. Next time I will probably used diced tomatoes instead of the whole ones. None the less, this turned out great.

4 jalapenos are a bit too much unless you REALLY like it spicy- I cut this in half.

Fabulous salsa!! I've been making this for about 3 years now and everytime I do my family raves about it. We do like it spicy so I had as many as needed for our taste. Very comparable if not better than restaurant salsa.

really good, good balance of ingredients, and looked lovely. It didn't "gel" as well as other salsas I've eaten, but it was great.

This recipe was why I bought a food processor! I make this all the time - whether for using in veggie chili, or just for some chips. Here's how I adjusted: I added a small bunch of cilantro as well as about a teaspoon of lime juice. I tried using 5 cloves of garlic as noted in the recipe, but that seemed way too garlicky - and I love garlic. Instead I'd reccommend using no more than 3 cloves, or roasting 5 cloves with the jalapenos. Thanks for the recipe!

I make this salsa all the time and everyone loves it! I do cut down the sugar to 1tsp and only add 2 jalapenos since I'm making it for a crowd.(It still gives it a nice kick)If I have fresh tomatoes I substitute them for the can of peeled ones. Also I add the juice of 1 lime and some cilantro. Perfect everytime and easily modified to suit your taste.

Really easy and tasty for a few "need now" salsa. I am taking mine to work tomorrow and I had the ingredients at home, minus a few peppers. I just added a few cherry peppers marinated in olive oil, and it was nice and spicy. I will definately keep making this recipe because it is easy to substitute ingredients and be salsa ready at any time.

This salsa is FABULOUS! I have made it so many times and it is always great and I get tons of compliments. The one thing I will say is that I would deseed the jalapeno's. There have been a couple times when I have made this and it was too hot with the seeds. Other than that the recipe is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing, because now I can make a salsa better than most restaurants!!

I have to admit I rarely make things according to the directions. This is an excellent base recipe. That said here are some changes I would make (and have): Instead of the canned tomatoes I used about 5 mediums tomatoes to broil on the baking sheet with the garlic and about 7 - 9 diced fresh tomatoes after I pureed the broiled yumminess. Then I add 1 -3 T of olive oil (sorry to be so vague, but i know the consistancy I am looking for, Instead of sugar I use honey and I throw it all in a blender. Then I add 10 scallions and use the pulse butten to get I finer consistancy. Once I'm done with this I throw it all in a big bowl where I have placed a couple of dashes of nutmeg, 2 cups finely cut fresh cilantro, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice and the zest of 4 limes. Sometimes I season it with pepper. There it remains for several hours. This is a great make ahead recipe that I wind up canning and giving as party gifts every year. YIPPEEE!!

The first time I made this salsa, I made it 'as is', with two exception - for the roasted jalapenos, i fire roasted them on the stove (i have a gas stove) and I added a can of corn for color. Everyone loved it! The only thing I didn't like was that it was very soupy and the food processor didn't leave any chunkiness to the salsa that I personally love. The second time around, I used fresh tomatoes in place of the canned, added lime juice and cilantro (like many of the other reviewers) and hand chopped everything -which can be time consuming)- and I let it sit overnight to let the flavors blend. Hands down one of the best salsa recipes I've used - and I get asked to make it for parties a lot.

Excellent, made an extra large amount and canned it. Jalapenos are a nice addition!!

awesome recipe. i read all reviews and so i added lime and cilantro. i used a can of diced tomatoes instead. very good stuff

great salsa. its easy too. if you want a kick add extra peppers. also i wouldn't add sugar but if you do it's still tastes good. i am definatly going to make this again but without the sugar

This is wonderful. Made as is, it's 4 stars. With added cilantro, it's 5 stars! I can stop my search for the perfect salsa recipe now. Thanks!

This salsa is great. I only used one hot pepper due to having 4 kids that don't do well with spicy. It still had some spice to it. The only changes I made to this was just used one hot pepper out of the garden and fresh tomato's out of the garden. Thanks for such a good recipe I will make this all the time.
