Loved it!! This is a continuation of that Fresh Mango Salsa, only we’re taking that recipe a step further and we’re processing, then cooking the salsa. Cooking? Yes! A cooked salsa, on the other hand, heats the processed ingredients and simmers them to let the flavors mingle and develop. You’ll still noticed the individual flavors of each ingredient, but each will be more subtle. The first thing you’ll need to do is gather up your ingredients, including mango, chili peppers, onion, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, red wine vinegar, and a bit of salt and pepper. Pop them into a blender or food processor and process them until the mixture is nice and smooth. Next, add the ingredients to a pan and bring it to a quick boil. Reduce the heat and let the whole thing simmer for 20 minutes or so. Remove it from the heat and let it cool. Adjust it to your personal taste with a bit of salt and pepper then let it cool completely. I like to store my cooked salsas in the refrigerator in a sealable container to let the flavors mingle and develop even more. It’s even better the next day, so make a good sized batch ahead of time if you’re having a party. A few notes on making salsa. However, if you’d like to dial back the heat level, skip the habanero pepper. You can also reduce or skip the serranos, and go with jalapeno peppers only. You’ll still get a nice kick from them. And as mentioned, if you feel the salsa is too thick for your tastes, add in a bit more vinegar or some water to help thin it out. Try it out on tacos, too. It’s the perfect topping! Take it out of the freezer a day ahead of time to let it thaw and serve it up as normal. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! If you make this, take a pic, share it with the world!
