Sweet Tomatillo Salsa

Sweet Tomatillo Salsa

10 tomatillos, husked

5 green onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 small can diced green chilies

1 bunch cilantro (about ¾ cup)

2 teaspoons lime juice

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon white sugar

salt and pepper to taste

a couple dashes of garlic powder (optional-but I do)

Place tomatillos in a saucepan with enough water to cover.  Bring to boil.  Simmer until tomatillos soften and begin to burst, about ten minutes.

Drain tomatillos and place in a food processor.  Puree the tomatillos.  Add back to saucepan with remaining ingredients except cilantro.  Cook until it boils.  Remove from heat, let cool for about 2 minutes, then return the salsa to the processor.  Add cilantro and process until very well combined.  I like it chilled.  Good for all Mexican food. 

To make a great creamy sauce, heat finished salsa with 8 oz cream cheese.  Yum!
