Dave, I personally like the fresh stuff better but I finally have more tomatoes and peppers than I think I can eat before they will go bad, so I am going to use the water bath process for all I can't eat in a few days. I figure I'll go with the fresh lime juice and learn from my trials and errors. I may also make a batch of your Salsa Fresca. It sounds downright tasty! Thanks!
