Salsa Making Tips -
Fresh Pineapple
Substitute canned pineapple chunks for the fresh, when fresh is not readily available. Drain off the sweet packing syrup.
Salsa Making Tips -
Fresh Lime Juice
Taste the lime juice before adding. Too much lime juice can overwhelm the other ingredients and make the salsa bitter.
Salsa Making Tips -
Jalapeño Chili Pepper
Subtract minced jalapeno for milder salsa. Substitute serrano chilies for jalapeño chilies for hotter salsa.
