Fresh Homemade Hot Sauce

2 Small Roma Tomatoes
3-4 Serrano or Jalapeno Peppers (Use more if you want it hotter.)
1/4 Cup Chopped Onions
1 clove Garlic
1/4 to 1/2 cup Cilantro Leaves (do not use stems)
1/2 can Tomato Sauce (small)
Salt - to taste

Cover tomatoes and peppers with water. Boil in a small saucepan for about 15 minutes. Remove the stems from the peppers. Put all the ingredients in a food processor, along with 1 cup of water used to boil peppers/tomatoes. Chop using food processor. I prefer not to use the blender because the sauce gets too foamy.

Brown Sugar Fruit Dip

8 oz. package of cream cheese softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
8 oz. container sour cream
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 cup milk
3 1/2 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix

Blend cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add remaining ingredients, mixing well. Cover and chill for at least one hour before serving. Makes 3 1/2 cups.

This is a great dip for parties with fruit skewers.
