Recipes for Salsa
We're not sure when the salsa craze really "heated up", but statistics show that sales of salsa have left ketchup in the dust. The varieties (and ingredients) are endless and we enjoy trying out new combinations. Our long time favorite (called Hot Salsa) was sold for many years by Williams-Sonoma. Once we moved to Charleston, we would call their St. Louis store to order it. Fortunately, the people who worked there realized how much we enjoyed the salsa and when Williams-Sonoma decided to discontinue the line, they gave us a call. We have just reached the end of our three case shipment. Meanwhile, many of our friends have introduced us to new products by supplying us with gifts of salsa.
Although it's easy to find a wide range of bottled salsas, trying a few recipes while all the ingredients are readily available is worthwhile. Our biggest problem in adjusting most salsa recipes is dealing with the raw onions. We don't care for the taste of onions unless they are cooked so in each instance, we saute the onions prior to adding them to any recipe calling for uncooked onions.
If you decide against making your own sauces and don't have time to get to a store, you can order almost anything from http://www.salsasetc.com.
