Classic salsa ( houston chronicle )

3 Cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Ripe tomatoes; cored
10 Fresh jalapenos
½ teaspoon Garlic; chopped
Salt; to taste
Freshly ground black pepper; to taste

Directions

This classic salsa starts with fresh tomatoes, but canned tomatoes can be substituted. Tasting as you go is a must, since the heat of jalapenos varies.

With a paring knife, cut a small "X" in the bottom of each tomato.

Place tomatoes in a large pot of boiling water 10 seconds to loosen skins. Peel and place tomatoes in blender container. Add unseeded jalapenos, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend to desired consistency.

Makes about 3 cups.
