Making a big batch of the 'best salsa ever' is a great way to use up all of the tomatoes coming out of the garden right now.

Good Haven House's Best Salsa Ever

time: 15 minutes

total time: 1 hour, 15 minutes

makes: 4-5 cups

6-8 medium tomatoes

1/2 of a medium onion, coarsely chopped

1 clove garlic, quartered

1/2 green pepper, quartered OR 1/2 red pepper, quartered

1 jalapeno pepper, quartered, leave some seeds and spine depending on how hot you like it!

2 pinches of sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (or more to taste)

1/2 - 1 cup coarsely chopped, packed cilantro (to taste)

juice from 1/2 a lime (or one if small or dry)

1. Put all ingredients in a large food processor and pulse 15 times or more (depends on how course you like your salsa chopped) Taste test on a tortilla chip and adjust to your taste. ( I rarely add more salt as the chips are usually pretty salty)

2. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (if you can stand to wait!) to let flavors mingle.

3. Serve with tortilla chips or if you're really feeling ambitious, nachos. Delicious! 

Note 1: This is a very free form recipe, feel free to experiment and add or subtract ingredients to your own taste and the texture you prefer.

Note 2: This makes A LOT of salsa. You can cut the recipe in half if you don't have a big crowd.

Note 3: You can chop the ingredients by hand if you don't have a food processor. It will have a different texture but will still taste great!
