Mmmm.....Fresh Salsa!

Last weekend, our friends, Jeff and Teresa, were here and we were talking about canning.  I mentioned that I couldn't wait to start canning salsa and they said they preferred fresh salsa.  I do too, but I also like canning it so when we get a craving, it's there.  After we talked about it though, I started the fresh salsa and had to make some.  I don't have a recipe, I just throw a few things together and it usually turns out pretty good.  Here's todays (approximate) version:

5 tomatoes - diced

2 jalapenos - finely chopped (we like it HOT so I leave all seeds/membrane in)

1 Serrano pepper - finely chopped

1 white onion - diced

3-ish Tbsp cilantro - finely chopped

4 cloves garlic - finely chopped

Lime juice

It turned out garlicky and with a nice medium heat.  Even though it made a pretty big bowl, I don't think it's going to last long :)
