Nice call on the verde cruda. When the tomatillos' acidity is tweaked right with lime and salt it really sings : ) I don't really make the traditional red/tomato salsa as a "cup of with a bowl of chips" type item but more as a spicy condiment to compliment a main dish so I use a stone mortar and pestle to pound roasted chiles, garlic and salt into a paste as a base. And that jarred stuff is just a lot of sugar and salt.
