--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4                    ripe tomatoes -- cored
  10                    fresh jalapenos
     1/2  teaspoon      garlic -- chopped
                        salt -- to taste
                        freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

This classic salsa starts with fresh tomatoes, but canned tomatoes can be 
substituted.  Tasting as you go is a must, since the heat of jalapenos 
varies.

With a paring knife, cut a small "X" in the bottom of each tomato.  Place 
tomatoes in a large pot of boiling water 10 seconds to loosen skins.  Peel 
and place tomatoes in blender container.  Add unseeded jalapenos, garlic, 
salt, and pepper.  Blend to desired consistency. 
Makes about 3 cups.
