Simple Cooked Tomato Salsa

2 medium fresh tomatoes, cored and cut in half
2-3 Tbsp sliced canned jalapenos (depends on how spicy you want it)
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup water (may replace a portion of this with jalapeno juice)
2 tsp olive oil

Put all except oil in a blender and puree until desired consistency.  Heat olive oil in a sauce pan.  Pour puree into pan and bring to a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture completely changes color from light red to a much darker red, about 15 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Keep refrigerated when not using.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups
