Salsa

   Let the mixture come to a boil and then drop the heat to medium low.

6. 6

   Let the salsa simmer for 20 minutes and then remove from heat and set aside to let it cool.

   Transfer the salsa to a glass container or bowl and refrigerate until cool (ideally for 24 hours to let the flavours meld together).

   Notes: 1.

10. 10

    I cant handle hot food so I removed the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno pepper.

11. 11

    If you like heat then add some or all of the seeds and ribs (it will be hot).

    If youre substituting pickled jalapenos for fresh then half the amount of white vinegar.
