SWEET AND MILD COOKED TOMATO SALSA
When fresh tomatoes from my garden start ripening faster than I can eat them fresh, I make this salsa. I modified the recipe to match my taste for sweet salsa with just a bit of zip. I freeze peeled tomatoes so that I can have the garden-fresh taste in winter, too.

- I did add 2 more tablespoons bottled lemon juice to the remaining three cups. and brought back up to a boil then simmered while the other jars were in the water bath, This is extra hot so no need to do unless you have family members like mine that request it hotter!

Tips:
- Use Ripe Tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Choose the Right Type of Tomatoes: There are many different types of tomatoes, each with its unique flavor and texture. For salsa, plum tomatoes or Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
- Roast the Tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky taste. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on a grill.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and oregano, add a burst of flavor to salsa. Use a variety of herbs to create a complex flavor profile.
- Don't Over-Blend: Over-blending the salsa will make it too smooth and puree-like. Pulse the salsa in a blender or food processor until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Season to Taste: Always season the salsa to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice. You may also want to add a touch of cumin, chili powder, or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
