This is absolutely fantastic!! I made for a football snack yesterday. My husband & middle son were hooked immediately! I will make this again!
Makes an excellent non-spicy dip by substituting 1/4 bell peppers for the jalapenos if you have people who can't eat spicy food at all like my Mum! ;p - 1/19/09

I added this recipe to my collection a week ago and i just tried it. It was so easy to make and delicious. I made a slight modification: i added a bunch of coriander instead of cilantro (very aromatic), avocado (great addition). on a whole wheat tortilla with 1oz provolone and bbq sauce, delish! - 1/23/09

So fantastic! Changes I made: instead of 1/2 a lemon, I used juice from 1/2 a lime; instead of fresh cilantro, I used dried and just sprinkled and tasted until it was right; used more salt than listed; added 1/2 a habanero pepper. A coworker offered me $20 for a batch - just printed the recipe! Yum! - 8/5/09

This is wonderful as is, but I always use 1 whole lime and a variety of peppers from my garden. Removing the seeds and membranes just leaves the wonderful flavor of the peppers without the rip your tongue out heat. Also like to add cumin and celery salt. Great recipe that I use every summer. - 9/8/09

oh yes and I also make this, I change it up sometimes and add additional peppers to it, go down my store shelf and pick out about 5 different kinds and add to it as well. Of course I make 1/2 gallon at a time. It keeps in the fridge really well. I also squeeze in a few limes instead of lemon. - 9/8/09

I made this using tinned tomatoes, a red onion and Tabasco sauce (along with the other ingredients), as that's what I had in the house. It was a little bit thin - I probably should have strained the tomatoes a little - but it was wonderfully fresh and vibrant. I'll definitely make this again. - 12/24/09
