Fresh Salsa!

As you know, Hunny has been gardening up a storm and we have a bumper crop of tomatoes this year. He asked me the other day to come up with a salsa recipe and to try making it. So, I found one on Simply Recipes that is so easy to make and tasted delicious! I used the cayenne peppers that Hunny grew, but only put in one, so I was told that was not enough heat for him. What I love about making your own salsa is that you can tailor it to your tastes and make it hotter or milder, whichever you prefer! Plus, you know exactly what is in it since you are making it yourself. Here's the recipe-

• 2-3 medium sized fresh tomatoes (from 1 lb to 1 1/2 lb), stems removed
• 1/2 red onion
• 2 serrano chiles or 1 jalapeño chile (stems, ribs, seeds removed), less or more to taste (Like I said I used cayenne peppers. I liked it with one, but the next batch is having 4!)
• Juice of one lime
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Pinch of dried oregano (crumble in your fingers before adding), more to taste
• Pinch of ground cumin, more to taste

1 Prep the tomatoes, chiles, and onions: Start by roughly chopping the tomatoes, chiles, and onions.
Be very careful while handling the chile peppers. If you can, avoid touching the cut peppers with your hands. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours.
Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers. If the salsa isn't hot enough, you can add a few for more heat.
2 Dice or pulse a few times in food processor: Place all of the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse only a few times, just enough to finely dice the ingredients, not enough to purée. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely dice by hand. (I made ours more of a puree than just a dice. I think in her recipe it was supposed to be more like Pico de Gallo.
3 Adjust seasonings: Place in a serving bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the chilies make the salsa too hot, add some more chopped tomato. If not hot enough, carefully add a few of the seeds from the chilies, or add a little more ground cumin.
Let sit for an hour for the flavors to combine.
