ROBIN'S FAMOUS SALSA

1 1/2 cups cider vinegar

2 tablespoons white sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 (4 ounce) cans diced green chiles
3 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
3 onions, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
DIRECTIONS
In a six-quart pot of boiling water, blanch tomatoes, drain and cool under cold water. Peel and coarsely chop. Return chopped tomatoes to pot, bring to boil and reduce heat. Skim juice from top of tomatoes and reserve, if you'd like, for another use. Do not overcook and allow tomatoes to remain chunky.
In two quarts of boiling salted water, add chopped bell peppers, celery, jalapenos, garlic, green chilies and cook until all ingredients are tender. Drain and add vegetables to tomatoes.
Add salt, oregano, black pepper and cilantro. Simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Hot pack the salsa in clean pint jars. Follow manufactures suggestions on preparing the lids and jars for proper sealing.
Easy Salsa:
1/2 small onion- quartered
2 jalapenos- sliced
1 garlic clove- crushed
1 bunch fresh cilantro- stems removed
Juice of 1-2 limes
28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes
Salt, pepper, sugar (to balance tartness) to taste
Place your onion, jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, and juice of one lime in a blender. Process until ingredients are chopped. Add in your can of whole tomatoes, salt, pepper and sugar. Process until the consistency you like, chunky or smooth. Taste for seasonings and if you like it more acidic add more lime juice to taste. If you like it hotter then substitute the jalapenos for serranos or another chile that's hotter. Pour into a bowl and enjoy! You can of course adjust these ingredients to your taste. This is an easy version of salsa that is always a hit.
