Roast garlic in 400 degree oven for 30 &#8211; 35 minutes by cutting off the top of the garlic head and placing in an empty muffin tin. Coat with olive oil, then cover with foil before placing in oven.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.static.flickr.com\/8422\/7714040396_6065316783_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0010\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the garlic roasts, saut\u00e9 onion in olive oil until soft. Once the tomatoes are broiled, allow to cool, then place about half the onions, all the garlic, and half of the tomatoes into a food processor. Add olive oil, sugar, vinegar, salt, and peppers, and pulse until roughly chopped. Add to the rest of the tomatoes and onions (I like my salsa slightly chunky, but if you prefer, you can process all of it for a smoother texture). Stir in chopped cilantro, and jar salsa. Refrigerate. Salsa will thicken up in the fridge. Serve as a topping on black beans and rice, or simply enjoy with tortilla chips and a nice cold beer!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.static.flickr.com\/8287\/7714041404_d988ae8059_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0016\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Hope you are embracing what&#8217;s left of the summer &#8212; I have definitely gotten my second wind!<\/p>\n<p><em>*** P.s.- exactly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crumbbums.com\/?p=1097\" target=\"_blank\">one year ago<\/a> today***<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it rains, it pours.
