Sweet and Creamy Roasted Tomato Salsa

We've been eating a lot of fresh Pico de Gallo and I wanted something a little more mellow and creamy. This is just the ticket.  
Ingredients:
     3 pints of cherry tomatoes (or 9-10 regular tomatoes)
     1 sweet onion
     5 cloves garlic
     1 jalapeno pepper
     small bunch of cilantro or 1 T dry
     juice of 2 limes
     teaspoon of sea salt

Wash tomatoes and place on a cookie sheet under the broiler for 15 minutes.  Let the skins turn a little black.  I used the low broiler setting on my Maytag gas oven.  The tomatoes are a mix of red "Sweet 100" and orange "Candy Sweet" cherry tomatoes.




Saute chunks of onions, garlic and jalapeno in a little olive oil.

Put everything into a food processor or blender.  I'm using a Vitamix on low, dial #4 for a chunky mixture.


I also added the tomato juice from the cookie sheet after broiling.

After blending.

Nice and creamy!  It'll be hard, but this salsa tastes best after sitting in the fridge overnight!  If you didn't know better, you'd think there was sugar in the recipe.  Saweeet!
