Steps:
- Roast jalapenos over a grill or gas burner until completely blackened. Seal in a plastic bag or a bowl covered with plastic wrap, and allow to steam until skins are loosened. When cool, remove skin, stem, and seeds.
- Place jalapenos, onions, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper into the bowl of a blender or food processor. Pulse to chop and blend, then pour into a large bowl, and mix with the can of green chiles, cilantro, and lime juice. Pulse the tomatoes in batches to desired size, and add to green chile mixture.
- Return one cup of chopped tomatoes to the blender along with the habanero, and puree well. Strain the puree to remove any large pieces of habanero, and add to the tomatoes. Mix well, cover, and chill in the refrigerator at least one hour to allow flavors to blend.

BARBARA'S HOT SALSA
We love tomatoes! Every year, when our tomatoes come in, I make spaghetti sauce, can some of the tomatoes, do sun dried tomatoes with the romas, and make fresh salsa. I usually can the salsa, too. I love making it extremely hot, as it tends to mellow in the canning process. Sometimes, though, the heat just comes right on through. It is not a raw type of hot, but with the canning, it tends to age quite nicely. I keep a crock of salsa going all Summer and Fall. I don't can it until the flavors have had a change to mingle and the raw taste is gone. (about 3-4 days)

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Use a variety of peppers: Different peppers will give your salsa different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild salsa, use only bell peppers. For a medium salsa, add some jalapeños or serranos. For a hot salsa, use habaneros or cayenne peppers.
- Roast your peppers: Roasting peppers will bring out their natural sweetness and smokiness. To roast peppers, simply place them on a baking sheet and broil them until they are charred and blistered. Then, remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Some good options include cilantro, basil, oregano, cumin, and garlic.
- Don't overcook your salsa: Salsa is best when it is fresh and flavorful. Don't overcook it, or it will lose its vibrant color and taste.
Conclusion:
Making homemade salsa is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and peppers. It's also a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on tacos, burritos, nachos, and more. With a little practice, you'll be able to make salsa that's perfect for your taste. So get creative and experiment with different ingredients and flavors until you find a recipe that you love.
