Ooooo. This looks so delicious! I love hot stuff, my husband doesn't but you know what that means? I get it all for myself!! Wehaw!
Lou Anne
Just made and tasted- amazing!! Doubled the recipe and canning in jelly jars- it is that good! We went right to taste testing on crackers. Can't wait to try it on eggs, breakfast sandwiches, on cream cheese and crackers, so many ideas!! Thanks???
Mauro
I have to try this. Does this freeze well so it can be saved in smaller portions?
Katie
It should be good for about 1 week refrigerated, maybe longer. However, if you freeze it, it will become watery. If you are using it as a spice in cooking, that won't matter much. But if you are using it as a relish, it won't be an optimal result. It would be the same as freezing fresh salsa..

Nice recipe.. great blog with delicious recipes.

I made this and used a lot of hot peppers from the garden. We love it! We had it on tacos and I have cooked it in sauces. I just put it on Jasmine rice with grated Mexican cheese! A new rice dish, so delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Has anyone canned this for long term storage? Can it be done similar to salsa?
Sue
Can anyone guide me on how to can this? We loved it!
Pat Kemp
Can this be canned like other salsa ( water bath) ? How much does one recipe make?
Katie Crenshaw
No, I am sorry, This is a refrigerated recipe. It makes about an 8oz sized jar.
