Pioneer Woman's Restaurant Style Salsa

I made this salsa and once it was gone, Chet asked me to make more. It is a great recipe for when you don't have fresh tomatoes.

1 can (28 Ounce) Whole Tomatoes With Juice
2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced Tomatoes And Green Chilies)
¼ cups Chopped Onion
1 clove Garlic, Minced
1 whole Jalapeno, Quartered And Sliced Thin (I only used probably 1/3 to 1/4 of my jalapeno and it was just right for our family. I don't like it to be TOO spicy, but Chet likes spicey. It was just right for both of us.)
¼ teaspoons Sugar
¼ teaspoons Salt
¼ teaspoons Ground Cumin
½ cups Cilantro (more To Taste!)
½ whole Lime Juice

Preparation Instructions

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—I don't like mine very chunky. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or cheese nachos.

I've been waiting for this - even though I knew where to look. Now, the question is, do you post the chocolate lave cake or do I?? I'm going to post something soon - don't give up on me! :)
