I've had this salsa with 4-5 different meals in the last week. My mom made it for us while we were staying at my parents house. I wanted to eat the whole bowl, but thought I'd better not. I think I could eat it everyday though. After making two batches for a family party on Sunday, I was asked to post this recipe asap. So here it is for all to enjoy!
I've always loved salsa as long as I can remember. I used to hate homemade salsa as a kid, I liked the store bought bottled stuff. I despise that stuff now....really I do. I am all about homemade, canned or fresh it so much better than the store bought bottled kind. I like salsa with a little bit of chip.....I like to heap as much as I possible can and take a bite. I can't fit a whole chip in my mouth (very politely) then I like to dip the same chip again, getting another large helping of salsa. Ummmmm.I could practically drink this. I make salsa soup with the chip crumbs at the end of the bag and eat it with a spoon. I'm obsessed!

Servings: 12+
Ready in: 10 minutes
1 can (28 Ounce) whole tomatoes with juice
2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (Diced Tomatoes & Green Chiles)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1-2 whole jalapenos (seeds & membranes-unless you really hate spicy), quartered and sliced thin
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup cilantro (more to taste if you are a cilantro lover like me)
The juice from half of a lime
Note: This is a very large batch. Recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.
Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like---chunky or smooth. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour, but it is good at room temperature too. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.
