4 ripe tomatoes, blanched, cored and quartered

1 red onion, peeled and quartered

3 garlic cloves, peeled

2 red chillis, seeds removed and diced

1/3 cup fresh cilantro

2 tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp sugar (optional)

1 can tomatoes

salt and pepper to taste

Place the fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime or lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon of sugar (if using), and salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the contents are fine and well blended.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chillies. Puree until almost smooth. Taste, and then add more cumin, sugar, salt and pepper, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

If refrigerated in an airtight container, this salsa will last 10 - 12 days. I also freeze it.

Note: One serving is approx. 1/4 cup.
