Sparky's Salsa

My friend says that my salsa is the best around.  He even wants to start a company and start distributing it.  Well that is nice but be serious...



In any event, I wanted to post the recipe because it really is not a secret and I too think that it's a really good recipe.  However, this is not for everyone.  This is a very spicy salsa...

Sparky's Salsa

Lots of Hot Peppers (all that you can find at the farmers market) (I suggest you find a few of these:  Jalapeño, Serrano, Cayenne,Tabasco, Thai, Rocoto (Cherry Bombs), Habanero, Anaheim)
Some Garlic cloves (grown in the garden)
Tomatoes (Romas or farmer's market tomatoes work best)
1 Yellow Onion
1/3 Cup of Brown Sugar (This is the key ingredient.  First you taste the sweet, then you get the fire.  Best of all, you just can't stop eating it)
1/2 of a small can of tomato paste

Here is what you do:

Finely grind up all the peppers in a Cuisinart (or something of that ilk).  The more peppers you put in the more people are going to love your salsa or hate your salsa.  Dice the onion.  Dice the tomatoes.  Mince the garlic.  Put everything into a big pot and boil it for about 15-20 minutes.  Let cool.  Jar.  Refrigerate.  Enjoy!
