Restaurant style salsa

I made the Pioneer Woman's restaurant style salsa for a party a few weeks ago, and I loved, loved, loved it!  It is so simple to throw all the ingredients into a (large) food processor, and it tastes much better than anything I've had out of a jar.  It's so delicious, and with football season around the corner, it's a great one to feed a crowd!!

RESTAURANT STYLE SALSA
Yield: a lot

Ingredients

1 can (28 Ounce) whole tomatoes with juice
2 cans (10 Ounce) Rotel (diced tomatoes And green chilies)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup cilantro (more to taste)
1/2 lime, juiced

Instructions

Note: this is a very large batch. Recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.

Combine whole tomatoes, Rotel, onion, jalapeno, garlic, sugar, salt, cumin, lime juice, and cilantro in a blender or food processor. Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like---(about 10 to 15 pulses). Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
Refrigerate salsa for at least an hour before serving.
