    Jillee - try one teensy change and tell me what you think. Instead of using regular plain diced tomatoes, use the fire-roasted ones. And if you can find the organic ones from Muir Glen (WalMart here carries them, as does WF and Target)- so much the better. People who eat salsa all of the time rave about it - and basically my recipe is the same as yours, except for the honey. Something about those fire-roasted tomatoes is incredibly yummy - enough so that if I get a bumper crop of tom's next summer I am going to go to the trouble of roasting them before canning them.

    Denise...that's so funny you should mention that...I actually looked at those when I was at the store and considered using them but then didn't. I'm definitely going to try it next time...which will be soon because I made a DOUBLE batch and it's almost gone! lol

    I found you by accident and love what I'm seeing. Glad to see ladies using their "brain power."

    Try eating cucumber slices with your salsa. Gives you the crunch of chips and none of the bad stuff we all love. 51 yrs married
