3/4 cup vinegar
2 T salt
6 T accent powder
2 chopped garlic cloves
2 onions
8 cans of tomatoes (1 gallon)
1 1/2 lbs fresh jalapeños
Combine oil, vinegar, salt, accent powder and garlic in a small saucepan. Heat until dissolved; set aside to cool. Clean and deseed jalapeños, leaving a few seeds depending on how hot you want your salsa. Chop peppers and onions coarsely in a food processor and then put in very large bowl. Add tomatoes and juice to the food processor and pulse to desired consistency. Mix everything together and stir well. This dish will keep in the refrigerator for several weeks. Stir well each time before eating.

Eagle Wraps, by Lisa Church
1 pkg. flour tortillas
2 lb. link sausage, cut in 4 inch pieces

Grill your favorite sausage links until sizzling. Wrap tortillas in foil and place on a grill to warm. Place a piece of sausage in a warm flour tortilla and roll. I like to use Hillshire sausage links. We dip them in mustard, but you can also use BBQ sauce or anything else you choose.
