- 1 (7 ounce) can jalapenos (for medium salsa, less for mild, more for hot)

directions
- This recipe makes a big batch (about 80 oz.), so put several of the items above in a food processor and blend until fairly smooth.
- Dump the contents of the food processor into a very large bowl and stir until blended.
- Store in individual Mason jars or large plastic containers with lids.
- If you want this spicier, you can use a couple of Chipotle Chilies in Adobo sauce. This adds a smoky, spicy taste to the salsa.

I must admit I have never made my own salsa before. I loved that I just had to open a can of this and a can of that. I'm sure salsa made with "fresh" ingredients is better but this was very good and easy to make. I froze some in freezer bags so I have it for future recipes. Thanks for a great, quick salsa recipe.

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes.
Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too!
My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much!
I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
