Fresh Corn Salsa

Because corn is so affordable and fresh right now, I am wanting to use in different ways so I decided to make a fresh salsa with it.   If you are going to make fresh salsa, you will have extra, so always keep some mason jars on hand and share with your friends and family!  This recipe takes some time for the all the ingredients to come together BUT it is worth it in the long run because it is delicious and there is plenty to spare.
