A Craving for Salsa

I don't know what it is, but for the last year at least

I have been craving chips & salsa like no other!!

If my hubby and I go on a date night

chances are I will make sure we order chips & salsa if it is available at the restaurant!

And I have tried a few different salsas from the store and never liked any of them.

So I put the word out through facebook that I needed some recipes.

I was ready to take the plunge and make my own!

My friend Maria came through for me,

handing me the recipe from the amazing

Pioneer Woman.

The results...

well, see for yourself...

I even dug up this old chip & dip set that I had received for a wedding gift 12 years ago!!

It was the perfect fit for my new freshly made HOMEMADE salsa!

I was very proud of myself and even more so,

the hubby loved it...the kiddos loved it...

and I LOVED it!

Score!

Here is the recipe:

1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic, Minced
1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin
1/4 teaspoon Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 cup Cilantro (more To Taste!)
1/2 whole Lime Juice

Preparation Instructions
Note: this is a very large batch. Recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.
Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like---I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
