Salsa by PhotoKirk

I made 20 jars of salsa one years as gifts.

Here's my recipe:

• 2 lbs tomatoes
• 2 jalapenos
• 3 chiles de arbol (dried)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 red bell pepper
• 4 cloves garlic
• 8 sprigs cilantro
• 1 small white onion

Slice tomatoes and bell pepper in half and pierce the side of the jalapenos. Cover the top rack of the BBQ pit with foil sprayed with no-stick cooking spray. Smoke the tomatoes and peppers until the skin of the tomatoes splits and is loose, usually 30-45 minutes.

Dice onion, cilantro, chiles de arbol, and garlic. Add to blender with tomatoes, peppers and salt. Pulse on low speed to desired consistency. Place in the fridge overnight to allow the flavors to set before serving.
