Instructions



1. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, lime juice, salsa, catsup, sugar and hot pepper sauce. Blend to a coarse puree. Adjust seasonings, adding salt and pepper and perhaps more sugar to taste. (Can be prepared up to 6 hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.)
