I have added small amounts of other hot peppers when the jalapenos didn’t seem quite spicy enough, which is why there are some little red specks in this batch, but not too much, or you lose the thing I like I like best about jalapenos, which is that they can be quite spicy at first, but the heat dissipates very quickly, so that you can enjoy the next zingy jolt. This, I would eat with a spoon, and a pretty big one, too. To me, a hot sauce is an ingredient – you might put a certain amount in a recipe, but you don’t just eat it with a spoon. And, though I was setting out to make a hot sauce, it actually eats more like a salsa. We have been putting it on everything, and if we didn’t have anything to put it on, I think we’d just drink it out of the jar. The fact is, this stuff is quite amazing.
4 batches later, I think it’s too good to keep to myself!
Green tomato salsa how to#
I knew I could never justify buying enough of it to keep us happy so the only alternative was to figure out how to make some myself. Then, a few weeks ago, I was ordering some spices from one of the online companies, and I saw they had some jalapeno hot sauce, and I ordered that too, because you can’t ever have too many kinds of hot sauce. So, in the way of gardening friends, we have been trading them back and forth. His cucumbers haven’t done well though, but that’s ok – we have had LOTS of cucumbers this year. Kevin has LOTS of jalapenos, which he doesn’t even like all that much. Fortunately, there is Kevin, who is riding to work with Larry. We are getting a few here and there, but not enough to accomplish anything with them. This year, the jalapenos are just not happy, and we have no idea why. Last year we had so many jalapenos that I could not keep up with them.
