End of Summer Tomatoes III

And here's the MOST perfect thing to do with all these beautiful tomatoes! This recipe works in the winter, too, with 2 or 3 hothouse tomatoes and a couple of cans of diced tomatoes, but it's not nearly as perfect as with the end of the summer tomatoes...

Michie's Drinkable Salsa

ingredients:
8-10 big, never refridgerated, fresh tomatoes
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 large vidalia onion
6-8 jalepeno or 8-10 serranno peppers
4-6 limes
sea salt

steps:
peel and chop tomatoes over a large glass bowl (so you don't lose any juice...use glass because you have to let the salsa sit in the bowl all day or overnight)
add a small handful of sea salt and stir
chop two big handfuls cilantro and add to bowl
chop the onion very fine (I use a chopper) and add to bowl
chop the peppers by hand in thin slices (seed them first, or seed a few of them, depending on desired heat) and add to bowl
squeeze the limes into the bowl and stir well
add sea salt to taste...add more lime to taste
let sit for several hours or overnight, then put into mason jars and refridgerate

The mason jars are beautiful - great for gifts or to bring to a party!
