Salsa Making Tips -
Pickled Jalapeno Slices
You can buy pickled jalapeno peppers at your local supermarket or specialty latin style market. Pickling jalapeno peppers for home use is quite easy. The pickling process changes the flavor and texture of the jalapeno peppers and takes some of the heat out of the pepper.

Salsa Making Tips -
Adobo with Pepper
Adobo with pepper is a seasoning mix found in jars, and available at most supermarkets. The mix varies from producer to producer, so be sure to read the label.
