How to make it
Gather up the jalapenos, onion, and garlic cloves and place them on a roasting pan then roast in the oven for 20 - 15 minutes turning the peppers and onions every 5 minutes or so. The goal is to get all sides of the peppers nice and caramelized because that's where the roasted flavour in the salsa comes from.

Blend away until smooth then serve or store it.
