Jalapeno

ByMaria

My video about transplanting Jalapeno paid off. Now it’s starting to flower and fruit. That’s the consolation I get from planting from seed. I just can’t help but smile to see some fruit of my labor.
I like to use Jalapeno in making salsa. It’s easy to make. I put about four quartered tomatoes in a food processor together with a small onion, coarsely chopped, one cut-up Jalapeno, juice of one lime, pinch of salt and a bunch of cilantro. Process or just pulse about 5 times and you have a delicious salsa ready for anything. I even use it with mashed avocado for instant guacamole.
