hi angie.

i don't measure, but if that's o.k. with you, this one is really easy.

3 or 4 large tomatoes.
1 jalapeno
1 handful of cilantro
juice of one lemon
1 TBS chili powder
1 onion ( i like the red ones best, but you can use any)
garlic (i buy the stuff already chopped in oil)

throw the onions, tomatoes and jalapeno in a blender. grind it to your favorite consistency... add everything else, flip it on again to chop the cilantro up. it's done, and tastes great. if it's not hot enough, add another jalapeno. if it's too hot, throw in a couple of more tomatoes.

this is good with canned tomatoes also. i don't use salt as there is salt on the chips already.

You know you can always cook up the tomatoes and make sauce and either can it or freeze it. There's nothing like a good homemade tomato sauce!! Or cooked tomatoes to throw into a pot of chilli come winter. Oh yeah - now I'm hungry again - lol!

I have NO maters - I can be there by noon tomorrow hahaha

If you go into the canning section of say kroger - there is a Salsa packet (sorta like the sloppy joe mix/taco seasoning mix) - it does make up a good salsa.

You can FREEZE extra tomatoes for winter usage to be
used in sauces and soups

Last year I froze a "ton" of tomatoes. It is a good thing, because I don't have any to freeze this year! I love to add them to spaghetti sauce or soup! Yummy!
