Cover and boil the jalepeno (and Habenero if you choose) peppers until they lose their shine, approximately 10-12 minutes.
Quarter the onion and chop the garlic; place in a blender.
Add cilantro to the blender.
Add salt, pepper, and cumin to blender.
Add tomatoes to boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
Remove peppers and tomatoes with strainer; retain water.
Peel skin from tomatoes, discarding skin; Skin should come off with ease.
Add boiled jalepenoes and tomatoes to blender.
Chop briefly in blender (use slow setting), adding water to obtain desired consistency.
Serve fresh or later; keep remainder refridgerated

Good recipe. Us cheaters use canned tomatoes which are already skinned.

I am cheater too, when its appropriate

I like to use rotel as a base, its good, easy, and super fast.

I almost forgot a step. The whole reason I said to retain the water! You add the water to the blender to get the desired consistency.

Hey L****, hope all is good with you

It depends on the Jalepenos. I have had them when they are hot as hades and then had them I could eat raw, kein problem. Its good though.

Here is another one that really deserves its own thread, its good! But its alot more work, at least for me since I dont a proper food processor. Its more like Pico de Gallo than salsa. You might want to get some latex gloves so your hands aren't on fire after this one.

7 ripe tomatoes
4 Jalepenos (or 5 serrano chiles, or 2-3 habeneros)
1 white onion, chopped fine (optional: add a red onion)
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped fine
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp cumin
2 tblspn lime juice

1. Dice tomatoes (tip, remove and discard seeds and pulp with spoon), add to bowl.
2. de-vein and de-seed peppers and chop fine, add to bowl.
3. dice onion, add to bowl
4. chop cilantro, add to bowl
5 add all remaining ingredients to, yes, the bowl.
6 Mix thoroughly and refridgerate for 1 hour
7 Serve

I've paid the price for failing to use gloves back when I grew a few habanero plants one year . Think about the area where a man has the thinest of skin .................. Your package :eek2: I got in the shower and ended up in pain for a couple of hours
