Anyone willing to share a great salsa recipe? Tomatoes are about ready and I am tired of my boring salsa.

Thanks.

3 tablespoons garlic powder

1/2 cup sugar

3 tablespoons salt

1 cup vinegar (cider)

1/2 cup lemon juice

2# red ripe tomatoes

6-8 serrano chiles, stemmed

8 cloves garlic unpeeled

1 small white onion, finely chopped, rinsed and drained

1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped

about 2 teaspoons cider vinegar

a large pinch dry oregano

a large pinch cumin

about 1-2 teaspoons salt

Roast tomatoes on a baking shheet under broiler unti blistered and skins slightly blackened on all sides. Remove allow to cool. Peel and discard skins.

Place chiles and garlic in a dry skillet over medium, turn often until blackened in spots. Remove from heat allow to cool, peel cloves.

Place garlic, chiles, and salt in food processor or blender, grind into a corse paste. Add tomatoes and their juices and pulse to coarse puree. Pour into nonreactive bowl, stir in remaining ingredients. Enjoy!

This will also can very well. Another variation is to add some canned chipotle peppers for a smokey flavor.

Here is one for fresh salsa. It's compliments of Food TV Network/Tyler Florence. Very simple and, IMO, tasty...

Salsa Fresca:

4 ripe tomatoes, chopped

1/4 red onion, chopped

1 jalapeno, minced

8 cilantro sprigs, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

Juice of 1 lime

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

Maybe a bit "boring" compared to some, but again, simple and tasty...
