Yes, it's a cooked salsa from last year. Canning ftw.
Tomatoes, green peppers, and of course a lot of orange habs. All from my garden. Some olive oil and garlic. I haven't planted olive trees and garlic plants yet.
Kidding. No way I'm ever going to grow olives.
As much as a cooked and canned salsa can taste fresh, I enjoy tasting the fruits of last year's labors in my garden.
The salsa is good, but my hot sauce, and I'll try and get a pic of a dessert spoon full of it, is what really makes this om nom nom worthy.
Gobs of orange habanero. White and apple cider vinegar.
The thing that made it such a good batch, a pear and some honey. I think the time spent in it's happy preserving home of a mason jar over the winter did a world of good. Heat is there, hab taste is there, but the sweetness, ahhh, the sweetness. It's an almost syrupy feel without the heaviness. Rich with fruity flavor from the pear and that lovely honey taste. The heat fades, but the fruity sweetness lingers for ages.
I think I may set aside some peppers this year from my concentrate project and make a run of hot sauce. This stuff is too damned good to not make this year.
