2 teaspoons black pepper

This recipe came from my mother in law, Doris. She got it from her Canadian friend Fran.
We use less sugar and more jalapenos. Either way it is delicious and a great way to make use of all those garden tomatoes.
We use this salsa in place of rotel for a cheese dip, also added to mashed avacados with lime juice for guacamole and my hispanic friends like to eat it on rice. And of course, it's used as a dip for tortilla chips or topping on other mexican dishes.
