“This is a very good salsa recipe. Simple ingredients are boiled and blended to created a flavorful, spicy mixture that's great with tortilla chips and on Mexican-style foods. The amounts of onions and jalapenos may be varied; canned crushed tomatoes may be substituted for fresh.” - by KIKIWOOD

"Let me just say that This is an excellent recipe and it got rave reviews but I would suggest little changes to suit your personal tastes. It has a wonderful fresh flavor and mine was on the chunky sid..." See moree which everyone liked. The main modification that I made was the amount of Jalapenos. I listened to some other reviewers and used only 1/2 of a pound of jalapenos and the seeds from only 3 of them (it was about 12 jalapenos for the 1/2 pound). It was very spicy at that. 1/2 pound was just about right....spicy and just hot enough to be flavorful but not so hot that it is unbearable. It does leave a little burn on your tongue but I thought it was exactly right I don't think that anyone that I know could actually eat this concotion if you used the full pound of jalapenos and used the seeds as well. I would definitely suggest to start on the low side and add jalapenos as needed to your taste. Also, I followed this recipe exactly and measured out the tomatos, etc....It only made 3/4 of a gallon instead of 1 1/2 gallons that the recipe states. I didn't boil it very long either. My other substitution was lime juice for the lemon juice...I prefer the taste of lime. All in all, I loved this and have been asked to make someone a batch for Christmas. I will be keeping this recipe in a safe place. Love it!!!"

"This is Kikiwood. I have found a variation that my family really likes. I now take the jalapenoes and roast them in a cast iron skillet until the skin is black. The skin then comes off easily and i..." See moret gives the salsa a more complex flavor. I'm glad that everyone has been enjoying the receipe."

"WOW--what a salsa! I cut the recipe in half and canned it, and still had a bunch! Everyone who has eaten this has loved the fresh taste. I did use fewer jalepenos, because I used the seeds when I c..." See morehopped them. Next time I think I will deseed some of them, and include more jalepenos for their great taste, but not all their spice. I also added more cilantro, because that's what our tastes like. I plan on passing this one out canned, and making more! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!"
