COLLECTION: Salsas (3)
2. ROUGHLY puree everything.
3. Simmer in an open 2 quart saucepan for 5 minutes to blend flavors
and help preserve the salsa. Salsa keeps well. If you want salsa even
hotter, just add more jalapenos or keep more seeds. (I didn't have
jalapenos, so just added some cayenne and some tabasco to taste. I also
found that about a tablespoon of lime juice was nice.)
Obviously not a gourmet recipe. But it turned out very nice, and solves
the problem of what to do with the other 90% of the cilantro I buy every
week or two.

The jicama gives it a fresh crunch.
