2010 San Diego County Fair Salsa Contest

It's that time of year again for the Salsa Contest at the "Del mar" fair. I went in 2008 and got 4th place out of 28 contestants woohoo, not bad for your 1st time ever to enter in a hotsauce contest. I skipped 2009, and I will be going this year. It is this Wednesday June 23rd 2010. Wish me luck, I'll be entering my Habanero mango hot sauce (of course many other special ingredients.)

Mango Habanero Hot Sauce

this weekend I made another batch of hot sauce, just a little over 48 ounces. Here is what's in it.....

20 habaneros
4 medium sized carrots
2 mangoes
white onion
pineapple rings from the can (about 4 rings) Del Monte brand..
about 6 garlic cloves
garlic salt
iodized salt
course pepper
Roma Tomatoes (depending on how big they are I do 3-5 tomatoes)
juice from about 6 limes
vinegar (this also serves as a natural preservative)
depending on how I feel I will sometimes add Cilantro.

When I get a video camera I plan on shooting the whole process..... remember Frying the Habaneros makes them MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahahha
