It's Time To Salsa!

Well, as my SIL can attest, I did actually try salsa dancing with her - took a lesson and even went to a salsa club in Philly, but I'd much rather swing dance than salsa dance and since Andy is terrible at both, I gave up.  But this kind of salsa ANYONE can do, yes, even YOU, Jenn!

I got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman's blog and oh my word, it's delicious!  I made it for our superbowl party this past Sunday and it's pretty much the only thing I ate all day!  (and yes, I paid for that on Monday).  Everyone at the party wanted the recipe because they enjoyed it as much as I did.  I don't think I can ever go back to salsa from a jar.

Here's her recipe:



Ingredients
       1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
       2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green  
             Chilies)
       ¼ cups Chopped Onion
       1 clove Garlic, Minced
       1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin
       ¼ teaspoons Sugar
       ¼ teaspoons Salt
       ¼ teaspoons Ground Cumin
       ½ cups Cilantro (more To Taste!)
       ½ whole Lime Juice

Preparation Instructions
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. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.  Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.
