7-pepper salsa aka BB Salsa

About a month ago Marx foods was giving away some dried peppers to anyone who would utilize them (and blog about it!) so I jumped on it, and by the time was got back from vacation I had a little package of peppers waiting for me



A work friend makes the most insanely good salsa, utilizing 5 types of peppers. I figured I would use her "recipe" (a handful of this, some of that) to try and recreate her fabulous salsa.

My 1st step was to go buy disposable rubber gloves. I wear contacts, and given this warning, I figured it was worth my time


I had never heard of ghost peppers before, but apparently they are the hottest pepper in the world (according to both Marx foods AND wikipedia). Now, sometime in the past 8 or so years I have developed a deep fondness of spice, but the hottest in the world? Yes, I would be wearing gloves




Of course if you want spice, you use habaneros too


I'm not a huge fan of "chipotle" in general... I guess I think it's over used, and I only like smokiness on occasion, but I figured I should use one of every pepper I had, so in it went



with a tad of garlic


and some water


In the meantime I deseeded and deveined my other peppers (I like spice, but I am still a gringa, so the seeds had to go)







The dried peppers all came back from the dead and got their color back



All the peppers went into the blender we got for our wedding. It's so very pretty and so under utilized (don't forget to deseed and devein the reconstituted peppers too)



Add two tomatoes, quartered


The juice of 3 limes



And a good forkfull of jalepenos in brine


Puree that bad boy!


Mmmm. Bubbles

The grand finale!
