Gerry’s Salsa

I’m not sure, where I got this recipe. I’d like to think I invented it, maybe I did. More than likely it came from one of my rippings.  This is a great salsa, rather on the chunky side.  You can make it smoother by just processing it longer.  Try it with corn chips or with my homemade pita chips. You hear that Katie? “pita chips”!
