Restaurant Style Salsa

My friend, Katie, brought this PERFECT salsa over the other night.  She snagged it off the Pioneer Woman's website (I love the Pioneer Woman!!) and said that she never eats jarred salsa anymore.  It's super easy and I have a feeling I will be doing the same thing.  I love me some chips and salsa!

-1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
-2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)
-1/4 cup Chopped Onion
-1 clove Garlic, Minced
-1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin
-1/4 teaspoon Sugar
-1/4 teaspoon Salt
-1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin
-1/2 cup Cilantro (more to taste)
-1/2 whole Lime Juice

Note: this is a very large batch. Recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.

Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like---about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.  I haven't tried this yet, but I think I will add in a rinsed jar of black beans and a rinsed can of sweet corn and gently stir before serving.

Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.
