Don't even know if I'm spelling them right, but has anyone made either of these? They are pretty much the same. They are used in recipes to compliment some dishes. Please spell them for me.

I've made pico de gallo many times. There are about as many ways to make it as there are people eating it!

Salsa . They are both made using cubed tomatoes, garlic cilentro, onions & spices. I just about know how to make them, but I don't know how to spell them.
I’ve made pico de gallo many times, and fresh salsa, but never a cooked salsa.

I've seen it cooked, via canning, to preserve for later.

No it’s fresh, not cooked. I made it frequently here. I think it’s different from salsa. Salsa has more juice, you can add hot sauce, stuff, not sure I cook my tomatoes either, but I use the ripe ones. Pico de gallo is more dry, slightly chunky, maybe crunchy too.
