Cookies!! Reminds me, my niece alway gives me a bag of chocolate chip cookies and fudge brownies for Christmas. Glad she likes my Mango Salsa I give them.

Already have my case of canned mangos in lite syrup for this years gifting. Now just have to get apricot preserves and all the fresh ingredients and start making salsa. maters, onions, garlic, Jalapeņos, serrano, habanero, sweet peppers, cilantro. The amounts of each variety of pepper each year.

When I get mix right it starts sweet, then a little pepper flavor (not hot) the cilantro then the mango (fruity but not sweet) the blends into a salsa flavor. The hot doesn't hit for a minute or so, and then only just enough to make you want more! Always trim out the pepper membranes so it's just he skin to get more pepper flavor without the heat. SIL thinks if you can taste peppers at all then it's too hot. Sometimes make some just for her with no peppers at all.

I may try adding some red food coloring because it ends up kind of yellow and people think that means it's hot. Remember my Grandmother always put yellow food coloring in her chicken noodles (fanstastic!). She didn't have any yellow food coloring so she didn't put any coloring in and it was kind of white and the family didn't eat near as much as they usually did. The next time she forgot to get yellow and put in red food coloring instead. It was a disaster nobody would eat any at all because it was pink noodles in a red sauce.
