Recipe - Garden-Fresh Salsa

For several years I had the pleasure of doing a little vegetable gardening during our short Indiana summer seasons.  Mine was a tiny little garden, and we all loved salsa, so I focused on growing tomatoes, herbs, an onion or two, and many types of peppers.  In an earlier post I discussed our family's quest to recreate one of the best commercial salsas in the world.  My daughter-in-law has a great recipe too.  This recipe is based the bounty of my garden and incorporates the key ingredients in all our favorite salsas.
