Biography

While I love cooking up new recipes of any type of food, I tend to gravitate towards the hot and spicy world. I've spent the last 3 years retired, trying to decide what to do with the next chapter of my life. While I've only spent about 4 months working on getting started, I have 3 distinctly different and solid sauce recipes that I am ready to fully commit to launching to market.

Florida Corn Season is finally here. Here is a seasonal recipe I love. Florida Hot Corn Salsa

Ingredients
3 ears of corn
½ red onion
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 green jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
2 red jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped

Directions
Steam the husked corn in salted water for 7-10 minutes. Finish off on grill, turning every few minutes to darken the kernels. While waiting for the corn to cool, chop peppers and onions slightly smaller than the corn kernels themselves. Cut the cooled corn from the cob. Combine the corn, peppers, onions, vinegar, and sugar and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Add salt to taste. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.

Pretty damn good on a table saw if I do say so myself.
