Steps:
- Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
- Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
- Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

EASY HOMEMADE SALSA FOR CANNING
This is a nice recipe to use if you are new to canning. I received this recipe at my bridal shower. I've tried lots of salsa recipes and this one is the one I always return to. I also like the fact that it uses basic ingredients... nothing too hard-to-find. You can use your favorite canning method for this. Following the instructions on the box of jars is always a good place to start. It looks like a lot of instructions below, but it really isnt- I just want to make it as easy as possible for a beginner.

Steps:
- A note about peppers: Remember to use caution and always use gloves while handling. I always remove the seeds from mine before chopping but if you like hotter salsa feel free to leave them inches.
- A note about tomatoes: you do not have to peel them, but most people prefer doing so. To quickly and easily peel them: give them a quick rinse to wash them off. Then drop them into a pot of boiling water for about a minute or until you see them crack and peeling. Remove with a slotted spoon into a large bowl of very cold ice water. Now you can easily remove the peel and the core. I usually put the chopped tomatoes into my 2 quart pitcher to measure the tomatoes.
- To make salsa: Put all ingredients EXCEPT cornstarch and water into a large stock pot. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Mix together the cornstarch and warm water in a small bowl. Make sure the mixture is very smooth- you dont want any corn starch chunks in your salsa.
- Add the corn starch liquid to the big pot of salsa, stirring while pouring.
- Boil on low for 10 minutes, watching carefully so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
- Pour into prepared canning jars, leaving about 1" for head space. Seal according to your favorite method.

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
- Choose the right tomatoes: There are many different types of tomatoes, but not all of them are good for making salsa. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have few seeds.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and oregano, add a lot of flavor to salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Don't over-process your salsa: Salsa should be chunky, not smooth. If you over-process it, it will lose its texture and flavor.
- Taste your salsa as you go: Salsa is a personal preference, so taste it as you go and adjust the ingredients to your liking.
Conclusion:
Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make at home with fresh ingredients, and it's a great way to add flavor to your meals. With these tips, you can make the perfect salsa every time.
