Put all into a food processor and give it a whirl for spicy, restaurant-style salsa!. My own recipe:
1-29 oz!. can of tomato sauce
1/2 medium white onion
2-3 cloves of garlic
3-4 jalapenos (stems removed)
1/2 med!. red bell pepper (no seeds)
1 banana pepper (stem removed)
1 fresh or dried cayenne pepper (stem removed)
3-4 dried chilis de arbol (stems removed or use 1 more cayenne)
1/4-1/2 cup cilantro
pinch of salt (optional--the chips are usually salty enough)
3/4 Tablespoon lemon juice
Takes like 10 minutes to make and you can freeze some and it won't turn watery like salsas tend to when you freeze them!.
Hope you like it if you try it!. :-)
For milder just cut out the cayennes and chilis de arbol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I finally came up with a recipe for salsa that satisfies me and that I actually wrote down the ingredients for while I was concocting it!. And it passed the taste test with a whole pint jar disappearing into the young people who attended my daughter's college graduation party with no one asking why it tasted funny, so I guess it's ok to share!. This makes a mild version!. You could add another chili pepper or two depending on how hot you like it!. Hint !.!.!. To peel tomatoes, dip them into boiling water for about 30 seconds!. The skins will come right off!.

1 1/2 t Cilantro
1/2 t Oregano

diced tomatos, onion diced or minced, garlic minced,cilantro,lime juice, jalapenos diced, reduced sodium V8 Juice!.
as far as putting this together, obviously tomatos make up the most but experiment this is a versatile recipe, beware of the amount of jalapeno heat, and stay easy on the lime juiceWww@FoodAQ@Com
