Salsa

The first time I made this my wife said "Do not buy any more Salsa at the supermarket".



1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes or 1 pint homemade

1 onion chopped

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

2 tablespoons vinegar

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

salt to taste

hot pepper sauce to taste

1 can Rotel optional



Combine the tomatoes, onion, green chiles, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, coriander, salt, and hot sauce in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the salsa reaches your preferred consistency, about 3 hours. Store in refrigerator until using.
