Fresh & Simple Salsa

This is a winner. I decided to try a new salsa recipoe this year and I will be making this one again. I made as stated and used about 1/2 roma and 1/2 regular tomatoes. I used one 8 oz can paste and added about 3 T of sugar to the mix. Great combo of spicy and sweet. DH loved it. I got 9 pints out of the recipe. I think that 8 quarts might be a typo in the servings. -
This is the best tasting and easy salsa recipe I have ever made. I will definitely be making this again. -
