Allisons Fresh Salsa
4 cups chopped tomatoes (blanched and skins removed) 1 ½ cups white chopped onion ¾ tsp. sugar 1 Anaheim pepper finely chopped 1-2 jalapeno peppers finely chopped (add more if you like it hotter) Fresh lime juice from 1 lime ½ bunch finely chopped cilantro 1-2 tsp. salt 1-2 garlic cloves minced 1-6 oz can tomato paste To blanch tomatoes you bring a pot full of water to a boil and add the tomatoes. Watch for the skins to start splitting (this takes anywhere from 1-2 minutes) immediately take them out of the water and put into a bowl that has been filled with ice cold water. The skins will generally slip right off. Chop the tomatoes or finely dice them. I find that a Pampered Chef chopper has worked the best for me. I have been using a little Ninja mixer lately and it purees the tomatoes a little too much. But you may like it this way. My husband likes it chunky. Add the rest of the ingredients and enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips.
