July 8, 20223 yr Habanero plant in the garden has about 30 beautiful, ripe peppers ready for harvesting. I thought I'd make a pineapple salsa with them but I've never made one before. Anyone have a good recipe?
July 8, 20223 yr I could never get the consistency down with mine, it always separated and became watery not smooth. But I used peeled tomoatoes and carrots as a base with other seasonings. Curious to see what others offer up
July 8, 20223 yr About 6 roma tomatoesTomatillos (you want the volume of the romas:tomatillos to be about 2.5:1 or 3:1)About 1/4 of a big red onionA couple of small garlic cloves (or one big one)2-4 serrano peppers 1/2 - 1 orange habanero1 limeSaltGrill all of it, but the lime and the salt. Get it charred. Add to blender. Add salt and lime juice. Pulse until desired consistency. Refrigerate.

July 8, 20223 yr I always do 2 habaneros, 4 tomatoes, half a yellow onion, couple cloves of garlic, little bit of cilantro, juice of one lime, salt and a dash of vinegar. Pulsed to what you want, taste and adjust to your liking. Tastes good to me.
July 8, 20223 yr Author I ended up doing the following (using two 16oz cans of Dole crushed pineapple in pineapple juice): 4 habaneros 2 cloves garlic 2 tablespoons pinapple juice of 1 lime pinch of salt Pureed the above in a food processor. In large jar, I added: 1 large sweet onion (diced) 1 bunch cilantro (minced) remainder of pineapple puree from above I hand mixed with a long handled spoon. I tasted it and it wasn't quite right, so I added juice of 1 more lime and a generous bit (maybe 5 pinches) of salt. Tasted again and it's amazing. It's pretty spicy though. Probably a 4 on the Thai restaurant spicy scale. Less adventurous types might want to use 2 or 3 habaneros instead of 4.

They just add a little polish to the habaneros edge.

July 8, 20223 yr Nah, go straight to taking the contact lenses out.What’s worse than touching your junk after chopping chilies? Handling your wife’s hoohah after chopping chilies. Made that mistake about 35 years ago. Surprised she didn’t rip out my eyes.
July 8, 20223 yr Author I wore disposable gloves while preparing the chilis for the food processor. I was very careful about cleaning the knife and cutting board to avoid contamination of other surfaces.
