QUICK CHERRY SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the jam and the can of diced tomatoes with chilies in a mixing bowl. Then stir in the tomato paste for some extra thickening.
• You can also add in some diced onions or minced garlic for extra flavor.
• I like the amount of heat with just the diced chilies in the can of tomatoes but if you like things spicier, a pinch or two of red pepper flakes can be added as well.
• Keep the finished salsa in the refrigerator. This recipes makes about 2 cups and will last in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
