Fiery Habanero Salsa Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 fresh jalapeno peppers
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (7 ounce) can diced green chile pepper
• 0.5 cup minced fresh cilantro
• 2 limes, juiced
• 7 (15 ounce) cans canned tomatoes
• 1 habanero pepper, seeded

Instructions

1. Gather all of your salsa ingredients.
2. Roast the jalapeño peppers over a hot grill or open gas flame until the skins are blackened. Place the roasted peppers in a sealed plastic bag or a bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap to steam until the skins loosen. Once cooled, peel off the skin, remove the stem, and deseed the peppers.
3. Add the roasted jalapeños, onions, garlic cloves, sugar, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor. Pulse to chop and blend the ingredients, then pour the mixture into a large bowl. Mix in the can of diced green chiles, fresh cilantro, and lime juice. Pulse the tomatoes in batches to reach your desired consistency, and add them to the green chile mixture.
4. Return one cup of the chopped tomatoes to the blender, add the habanero pepper, and puree until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any large pieces of habanero. Add the strained puree to the salsa mixture, mix thoroughly, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
