PICO DE GALLO - STRAWBERRY SAUCE

CHUCKY PICO

(CHUCKY IS GOOD IF YOU HAVE FRESH FROM THE GARDEN TOMATOS AND SWEET ONIONS)

PULVERIZED PICO

(BETTER IF YOU PUT IN THE FOOD PROCESSOR A BIT IF YOU ONLY HAVE SUPER MARKET TOMATOS AND YELLOW ONION!)

PICO De GALLO

8 ROMA TOMATOS - CUT UP INTO SMALL PIECES(OR ANY TOMATO)
ONE LARGE ONION - ( SWEET,RED,YELLOW ,ANYTHING BUT I HAD REG YELLOW ON HAND WHEN I DID IT)
ABOUT A CUP OF CELANTO CHOPPED UP
JUICE OF ONE LIME
OPTIONAL- JALEPINO PEPPERS(I DONT DO IT CAUSE MY DAD CANT EAT SPICY)

 MIXED IT ALL TOGETHER AND THEN THROW IT INTO THE FOOD PROCESSOR FOR A FEW ZAPS.
 THATS IT!
YOU CAN ADD A TAD OF SUGAR OR SALT IF YOUR TOMATOS ARENT RIPE ENOUGH(SUPERMARKET TOMATOS). THE BEST IS GARDEN TOMATOS OF COURSE. BRINGS  IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL!! I ORIGINALLY FOUND THIS RECIPE FROM THE PIONEER WOMAN (FOODNETWORK)

THIS ABOVE IS THE RECIPE I USED FOR MY STRAWBERRY SAUCE BUTTTTT I CHANGED IT A BIT.

1/2 CUP SUGAR
2 TEASPOONS CORNSTARCH
PINCH OF SALT

IT STARTS OUT LOOKING VERY VERYYYY DRY BUT IT WILL GET JUICY AND YUM SHORTLY AFTER YOU START COOKING IT DOWN!


NEXT TIME I WILL TRY THE LEMON JUICE BUT WITH THE OJ IT WAS VERY GOOD!!!!
