FIERY SALSA
Original recipe came from Relish Magazine in the newspaper; I have changed the amounts to make it more manageable for the home cook. This salsa is hot, remove seeds and inner membranes of peppers for a milder flavor or use less hot peppers. The peppers can be adjusted to your own personal taste. This is the best salsa I've ever eaten and a great way to use some of those summer tomatoes.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes; reduce heat and simmer an additional 10 minutes.
- Ladle into sterilized jars leaving about 1/4 inch head space and place in boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Let cool 24 hours.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful the salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no green shoulders.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a slightly smoky taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a variety of peppers: Different types of peppers will give your salsa different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild salsa, use bell peppers or poblano peppers. For a medium-heat salsa, use serrano peppers or jalapeños. For a hot salsa, use habanero peppers or cayenne peppers.
- Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can brighten up the flavor of your salsa. Some good options include cilantro, basil, oregano, and mint.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste your salsa before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lime juice.

This fiery red salsa is the perfect way to add some heat and flavor to your next meal. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and versatile salsa, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
