**Recipe by Suzanne. I have used this forever and ever (since moving here in 2005). Of course, this what I do: I wash the tomato skins good, remove all bad spots, chop up, remove most of the seeds, in food processor and put in pot. I do not put tomatoes in boiling water then cool water to remove skins. I tired... I am all about easy salsa! We take all seeds out of peppers. Maybe not all with the jalepenos since Shawn likes it a bit warm, but not way warm. We chop all in the food processor. I do have a big canning pot that I get the water started in. As soon as I get the bottles/jars ready (follow the basic instructions on how to get the jars ready) I put in pot and let process for 15 minutes. ALSO: this was the first time that I added some corn starch to thicken up the salsa. Even though Shawn loves this salsa, he wanted it a bit thicker. I decided what harm could corn starch do? So I added 3 big heaping TBSP to the double recipe that I did, and after the jars were done and cooled, the salsa did look a bit thicker.**

Trash
In a large bowl, add the following and mix well:
1 bag of candy corns (I used the Autumn Mix minus the pumpkins when I get them 1/2 price after Halloween)
1 box of chocolate Teddy Grahams
1 box Rice Chex
1 bag slivered almonds
1/2 bag of mini pretzel twists
Melt in saucepan, a large package of Almond Bark. It will burn, so make sure you follow directions on how to melt (mistake that I made last year). Once melted, quickly pour over mixture and mix well. If you add any more stuff, you may need to melt more Almond Bark. Some people like lots of Almond Bark, and if you do, then add less of the above ingredients.
