It had been awhile since I made fresh salsa and the flavors were beyond my memories of recipes past. I probably went a bit strong on the cilantro, since the local Mexican restaurant who makes my favorite salsa uses cilantro, and stuffing it into a measuring cup only to dirty another dish just seemed silly- I just eyeballed it and went with it. Everything else was by the book, and I wound up not adding any of the leftover reserved juice. Genius here hadn't used Pulse on the blender before- shhhhh! (I had an even sillier experience buying my jalapenos...)<br /><br />The flavors definitely come out and I was able to get the consistency I wanted- I've grown to prefer a finer blend rather than larger chunks with more liquid separation. The total amount made was equivalent to at least 2 grocery store jars, which pleased me, because it's easy to eat a jar by yourself while watching the Colts win. (hush on the last 2 games of the season!)<br /><br />All in all I really liked this salsa, and my sister's eyes popped when she tried it- not because of the heat, but rather the taste, although she's the type to eat a fresh jalapeno at every meal. One thing my taste buds seemed to tell me is it was needing a bit more sweetness. Maybe my brain is confused and it needs something else instead, maybe I'll do all fire-roasted next time, but because the final result was so fresh if I want to get closer to the restaurant flavor I need to tweak it a bit further. Not sure how to approach this, but will work on it the next time I make it. Thanks Meghan for this one, it definitely hit the spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081200414875560962.post-60742546373355950802009-05-04T22:17:00.000-05:002009-05-04T22:17:00.000-05:00I love how you used the fire roasted tomatoes alon...I love how you used the fire roasted tomatoes along with the fresh, I'll have to try this.
