    Fantastic! Excellent! I love fresh salsa and enjoyed making this. I followed the recipe exactly and didn't change a thing. I didn't use the add-ons because I wanted to try it "as is." While I found it to be mild, it was packed with wonderful flavors! I made it last night, and found it tasted even better this morning. Note the recipe doesn't call for peeling or chopping or coring the tomatoes prior to cooking, so I didn't. After the cooking time, the skin on the ripe tomatoes pulled right off. It is important to let the tomatoes/tomatillos/jalapenos cool before processing or you'll have mush. I've never made fresh salsa quite like this. I found it an interesting method, and I was very impressed with the results. I can only imagine how wonderful this salsa will be using home-grown tomatoes this summer. I might try adding a habanero to the mix for a little more heat, although it is perfect the way it is. Thank you for this recipe! I loved it!
