Debra’s Salsa


        1 (102 oz) can crushed or diced tomatoes - or combination of two OR
equivalent of fresh tomatoes, chopped*
2 medium onions, chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped (add more if you like the taste)
1/4 cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed or bottled)
3 Tbsp. garlic salt
3 small jalapeños, chopped with seeds removed
3/4 cup vinegar


Mix all together in a large bowl. This salsa can be frozen in small portions or canned using a water bath canner.


*When making this with fresh tomatoes, use a variety of kinds. Ex: Roma, grape, yellow pear, etc. Chop 3/4 of the tomatoes and then run the rest through a food processor to make a sauce.


**You may need to add more lemon juice if you use fresh tomatoes to make it a bit more tart.


***Be careful with the jalapeños. Make sure you get all the seeds out. You may want to start with 2 and see if it's hot enough for you and then add more if you want to increase the heat. Note that the salsa tends to get a bit hotter after it sits for 24 hours.
