Fresh Salsa , Southwest Skillet, and Cherry/ Blueberry Jubilee = Yummy

This am I made this fresh salsa from several of our red and yellow tomatoes. I will share the recipes because it is one of our favorites...I made 8 cups this am and refrigerated it till dinner which was Southwest Skillet and fresh salsa and chips. Both recipes went together and all the kids love Mexican food. You have to peel the tomatoes ( the hardest part of making the salsa) and these kids ate the peels because they love tomatoes even if it is little left on the skins on the inside.

Fresh Salsa

4 cups , fresh, chopped, peeled tomatoes ( yellow and red ones together )
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. ground cummin
garlic- ( I use the minced garlic in oil)
salt and pepper to taste or if you like it more spicy add whatever spice your family likes
Combine and let it set at least an hour
