Notes
** I remove the seeds from my jalapeno peppers to reduce the heat level. This way you'll get all the fresh jalapeno flavor and some heat, but not a crazy amount of heat.
** I also add the teaspoon of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and I think it heightens the other flavors.
** If you'd like, you could stir in some corn kernels, black beans, or chopped tomatoes.
** Recipe makes approximately 4 cups.
