1
Add the chopped tomatoes to your blender along with the chilies, onion, and garlic.
2
Blend on medium speed for about 20 to 25 seconds until well combined.
3
Place a pot on medium heat and pour in all the blended ingredients.
4
Add salt and stir all ingredients together, then reduce heat to medium-low.
5
Allow the salsa to cook for 10 to 15 minutes until you turn off the heat.
6
Once cooked, remove from heat and add lime juice to preserve the salsa for five to seven days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can add a teaspoon of vinegar, though this will change the flavor slightly to resemble canned salsa.
7
Allow the salsa to cool slightly on the counter before refrigerating. If using a mason jar, lightly cover with a lid without fully sealing, then refrigerate once cooled.
