Almost Fresh Salsa


I like fresh salsa best, but in middle of the winter when tomatoes aren't great, this recipe is a good substitute.  Especially if you can use canned tomatoes from your garden!  I got this recipe from my friend Jill.  Check our her recipe blog http://jbeanrecipes.blogspot.com/2010/02/restaurant-style-salsa.html.

Salsa
1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice ( I use 1 quart bottled tomatoes)
2 cans tomatoes with cilantro and lime, such as Rotel
¼ cup Chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic, Minced
1 Jalapeno 
¼ teaspoons Sugar
¼ teaspoons Salt
¼ teaspoons Ground Cumin
½ cups Cilantro
Juice from one lime

Put it all in a food pocessor and chop to your desired consistency.  

Note:  All measurements are estimates,  and you can adjust them to your taste.
I don't always have a jalapeno or lime on hand, but the salsa stll turns out pretty good.  Just add a little extra cumin.
