    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???

  3. Mauro

    I have to try this. Does this freeze well so it can be saved in smaller portions?

  4. 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..

    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.

  11. Pat Kemp
