• 4 in a food processor combine half the tomatoes and the other ingredients and pulse until well mixed but not pureed.
• 5 in a large bowl combine all the ingredients and mix well.
• 6 let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours.
• 7 for the canned tomatoes use salt free.
• 8 if you're feeling naughty double up on the habanero peppers. if you're really feeling naughty then double up on the jalapeños too.
• 9 for the mint leaves if you're buying them in the packets then use 3.
• 10 for the gingerroot you'll want one about the size of an egg.
• 11 optional ingredients i found nice were apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar or maple syrup. not all at once but each one adds a unique background to the salsa.
