Ms Brandy's Homemade Salsa

I have created my own very "special" homemade salsa recipe. I call it "special" because it took me years of making it, perfecting it, and eating it to come up with this creation. I still make "tweaks" to it every now and then, but if you love some-what-hot salsa then you will love this.

Ingredients
* 1 tbsp minced fresh garlic
* 2 tbsp lemon juice
* 1 tbsp lime juice
* 3 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
* 1- 4oz can of diced green chilies (drained)
* 1 cup diced onions
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 tbsp sugar
* 1/2 cup diced pickled jalapenos (such as Hernandez)
* 28oz Ro*tel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies (drained)

Mix all ingredients and let sit overnight for flavors to blend.
**NOTE: The longer the salsa sits in the refrigerator the hotter it will become. :0)
