6 tablespoons finely chopped onion

6-8 vine ripe tomatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled and seeds removed, chopped

4 serrano or jalapeno peppers chopped

3 tablespoons lime juice

salt and pepper to taste

Peeled Tomatoes

Preparation:

Put chopped onion and garlic in a strainer; pour 3 cups boiling water over them

and let drain and cool. Combine the onions and garlic with chopped tomatoes,peppers,

cilantro, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow flavors to blend.

Note:

For a milder salsa cut out the placental material (white Part) of the pepper around the seeds and wash clean.  For a hotter salsa use the whole pepper.
