Salsa

Our son and daughter-in-law made this wonderful salsa as a result of a bumper crop of tomatoes from their garden.  This salsa is a nice balance of sweet and spicy and is so good with a bag of corn chips or on a hamburger or a grilled cheese sandwich or with eggs for breakfast.

  • 2 1/2 cups onions, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups green peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup jalapeno pepper, small dice (See Note)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teas cumin
  • 2 teas fresh ground pepper
  • 2 tbls pickling salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup white vinegar
  • 1 15oz can tomato sauce

Note:  I removed the seeds from the jalapeno peppers but left the ribs.  If you like your salsa spicy you could add the seeds.
