How to Make Fresh Tomato Salsa
- Chop 4 large ripe tomatoes into ½-inch dice.
- Finely chop 1/2 red onion.
- Mince 2 cloves garlic.
- Remove seeds from 1 jalapeño pepper (optional, for spiciness) and finely chop.
- Roughly chop 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, garlic, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.
- Add 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- For cooked salsa (optional): Transfer mixture to a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Allow to cool completely.
- For canning (optional): Sterilize jars and lids. Ladle hot salsa into jars, leaving ½-inch headspace. Process according to your preferred canning method and guidelines for safe preservation.
- Enjoy with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos or grilled meats, or as a flavorful addition to chili.
