INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pour the can of whole tomatoes into a large bowl, along with their
juice. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces.
2. Add all the other ingredients, blending well. Store in a glass container
in the refrigerator.
You must use glass because the acid in the peppers will react with metal or
plastic. Makes about 6 cups. Serving size (for nutritional analysis
purposes only!): 1 Tablespoon Nutritional analysis per serving: 4 calories,
0 cholesterol, 0 dietary fiber, 0 fat, 2 milligrams sodium
My substitutions and alterations:
1. Substitute equivalent amount of FRESH tomatoes for canned tomatoes.
Remove skin from tomato if you like. I used beefsteak tomatoes from my
garden and they made this recipe simply delicious!
2. Substitute fresh jalapenos for canned/bottled. You will still need juice
from canned/bottled jalapenos though.
3. Omit the 3/4 cup water, especially if using FRESH tomatoes.
4. Give the salsa extra pizzazz by adding more jalapeno, crushed pepper
and/or tabasco.
