Steps:
- First, peel the onion and cut it in half. Then, add the onion and garlic cloves to the bowl of a food processor.
- Chop the onion and garlic, then roughly chop one jalapeño and add it to the food processor. (Exclude the membrane and seeds to reduce the heat.)
- Chop the jalapeño with the onions/garlic.
- Next, add tomatoes then cilantro to the food processor.
- Chop the tomatoes and cilantro to your desired consistency.
- This next step is optional, but I like to do it - pour the salsa into a fine metal strainer over a bowl to get rid of any excess moisture. (The tomatoes and onions release a lot of liquid when you chop them up.) You want to do this BEFORE adding the salt and lime juice because you will strain out the salt and lime otherwise.
- Return the strained salsa to a bowl (or the food processor), then add salt and the juice of a lime.
- Mix well, then taste. Adjust with more salt, lime, and cilantro if needed. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:
- Combine the jam and the can of diced tomatoes with chilies in a mixing bowl. Then stir in the tomato paste for some extra thickening.
- You can also add in some diced onions or minced garlic for extra flavor.
- I like the amount of heat with just the diced chilies in the can of tomatoes but if you like things spicier, a pinch or two of red pepper flakes can be added as well.
- Keep the finished salsa in the refrigerator. This recipes makes about 2 cups and will last in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
GROUND CHERRY SALSA
I love salsa with a hint of natural sweetness and ground cherries are a perfect addition. This is a relatively mild salsa; if you like it spicier, don't remove the jalapeno seeds, or increase the amount of jalapeno. I use only organic produce, so I don't peel the cucumber.
