This is a very good salsa, however it is WAY too spicy and I only used three jalapeno peppers and I even took the seeds out. Also I added cilantro, the juice of two limes, and I used fresh tomatoes, not then canned. In addition, I only used three garlic cloves. Next time I try this, I will only use one jalapeno pepper. Overall though it is a good recipe.

Wow, what a great base for a salsa. I have tried several recipes and never gotten what I considered a "good" result. I changed this a bit. I added fresh cilantro to the food processor when blending. Additionally, I omitted the Jalapeno peppers and substituted 2 fresh cayenne peppers from my garden - my wife loved it.

This recipe provides a great "base" for your salsa but it does need to be modified to fit your tastes and preferences, especially if you like it chunky and not too spicy. But I found it very easy to modify as I went along. I like a chunky, fresh looking salsa so I added 2 diced vine ripened tomatoes and only put a 14.5 oz. can of whole tomatoes instead of the 28 oz., and drained and reserved the fluid in case I needed it, but found it wasn't necessary (I still used the 10oz can which gave enough liquid). I only put in one jalepeno pepper since I was making it for a crowd with various tastes, and I found the flavor was still very present. And I cut down the onion to 1/2 and the garlic to 3 cloves, crushed. Then I added the juice of 1 lime and a small bunch of cilantro. No blender for me! I just diced everything. Good stuff!

This was a good salsa, buy way too hot with 4 jalapenos, even if you take the seeds out. I had to make another batch without jalapenos and mix the two together. Then I had so much of it so I used it to make Hot Mexican Spinach Dip from this site, and it worked great. Quesadillas also taste great with fresh salsa.

Too much onion and just was not great. Maybe it was the tomatoes I used. Slim pickings at the market.

This was okay and makes way too much sauce not salsa. If you're into hot & spicy, then the flavor of this recipe is for you. If you like your salsa chunky, then this is not the recipe for you. Although, this was very simple to make, it was not the hit of my party on Saturday. Possbily could be the fact that I had 5 other appetizers and people went for the other dishes. Going to have to play with this one before my next party in August. Also, I agree with another reviewer and roasting the garlic might be a good idea.

This was wonderful! My boyfriend says "Mmmm mmmm good!" We used Mexican style Rotel tomatoes with cilantro and lime, and one more jalapeno. We are just raving at how good it was!

AWESOME!!! After reading the other reviews, I added the juice of one small lime, one bunch finely chopped cilantro, doubled the canned tomatoes to 52 oz total, added two large fresh tomatoes and ten vine ripened cherry tomatoes, about three tablespoons of chopped green onion, used only 3 cloves garlic and only one jalapeno diced into a near paste. Total quantity of salsa when I was done was 8 cups. Tortillas with lime were the vehicle of choice for the salsa (although I would eat it by the spoonful iif no one else was around)....so in conclusion it was YUMMY!

I thought it was real good and my husband said it was the best homemade salsa he has ever had! He also said it reminded him of the restaurant (Dos Amigos) salsa. In fact, I am making it again tonight! I altered the recipe a little bit though, I used 4 garlic cloves, added cilantro, and did not put sugar in it. It was a bit hot, but I think it all depends on where the jalapenos come from, it does makes a difference if they are in a jar, can, or fresh. Even the brand name makes a difference. I think everyone owes this recipe a try!

WAY too much garlic! I'm not sure if my bowl will ever stop smelling like garlic. And even though I didn't have it in the blender for long, there weren't any tomato chunks. It was more like a sauce instead of a salsa.

Hmm…. I was really hoping for a restaurant salsa, but this was not it. This salsa was very very hot, so I would recommend cutting down the peppers, if you like fire sauce however leave the peppers. I just have a sensitive mouth =). The salsa was ok; it might be better as a condiment salsa, and not one to be eaten with chips. The salsa lacked tomato flavor and then when I added some it still was missing something. I would recommend this salsa to someone who will tinker with it adding items to make it better. It is a good start just not quite there yet.

I think the four jalapenos were necessary. I would however cut down on the garlic. I left out the whole tomatoes and used a total of three cans of petite diced tomatoes.

This recipe was very good because it was simple and tasted very good. However, I strongly recommend that you take down the garlic a lot. 5 cloves of raw garlic is way too much. I love garlic, but 5 cloves is very rough. However, I totally recommend that you try the recipe. Also, I used 3 jalapenos peppers and got rid of the seeds and it still had a nice amount of heat. Finally, I drained the canned whole tomatoes, and the recipe was definitely not too thick. Can't wait to tinker with this recipe more to find the perfect salsa. I think roasting the garlic is where I am going to start. EL.
