Re: Making mango salsa but need to tone down heat

CCo75, if this was poultry or pork, I wouldn't even be worried about heat of any kind. In my humble opinion, those foods combined with fruit is a marriage made in heaven....but fish won't stand up to fruit, and might end up tasting nauseating sweet. I'm going shopping with DH and we are going to pick up a couple of peppers. He and my son can tolerate heavy-duty love it-so, it won't go to waste. Poodlepet

The difficult with peppers is that the intensity can vary even for the same kind of pepper. Most poblanos I get are not hot at all. right now, the locally grown (lots of rain) jalapenos I have are also not hot at all. I have also had some that were super hot. I think you should just cut the peppers out and then add a little heat if need be.

I meant to say Tobasco-The Kindle is really funny with word recognition: It didn't recognize "Tobasco" so it inserted "tobacco" in its place....same thing with Debc: even though I put that into the dictionary, it decided to call her "debt"....what's funny is that every now and then it inserts obscenities or banned words: I really to get better at proofreading!

'Auto correct' is famous for 'skrewing' things up! Hope your salsa turned out yummy.

I am breaking out in a sweat just thinking about it, and my skin is burning, so, I am pretty sensitive. I ran across this mango salsa recipe that is served on grilled fish, but it has jalapeno (seeded and minced), as well as Pablano. I can eat jalapeno poppers because they are seeded. I have never bought plain jalapenos in a jar, however. Are they sold already seeded? I really don't know much about the Scoville scale, but just how hot are Pablanos? I really don't want a lot of heat....could I substitute chilli powder, cumin or smoked paprika? Any advice would be appreciated. Poodlepet

Sorry, poodle, but I just couldn't pass it up!

I'm sure you meant tabasco! ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$
