Homemade Salsa

This year I wanted to be brave and try something new like making salsa.  My friend Shaina is one awesome cook and had a recipe in a cookbook that she had published a couple of years ago.  So I planted my tomatoes hoping and praying that they would do well so I could make the salsa.  Sorry to say my tomatoes didn't do so well.  We hardly got anything.  Lucky for me though that my awesome Brother and Sister in law Jason and Rachael were able to produce one heck of a garden.  They overproduced, and I was happy to take the tomatoes and peppers off there hands.  I had enough tomatoes to make 2 batches of Salsa.
I really don't know why I was so afraid to try.  Maybe it was because of all of the peppers that I would be cutting up.  I haven't really done much with Serrano peppers, Anaheim peppers, Jalapeno peppers, and the mother of all peppers the hottest the Habanero pepper.  It wasn't hard at all.  Wear rubber gloves and you will be fine.  My biggest problem was the onions.  My eyes wouldn't stop watering.  and by the end they were pretty swollen.  The batches I made were pretty mild, so next year I would like to make it hotter.  Thank you again Jason and Rachael and Shaina for making it possible for me to try something new!  Love you guys!
