Date: Wed, 10 Apr 1996 17:35:43 -0400 From: Nathan Freedenberg <nfberg@...> Here's a recipe for the smoked habs. I did cheat and just played cut and paste from some promo literature I have.

Sitting at my desk examining the first smoked habanero we had ever received I was suddenly inspired to try this roasted, toasted and smoked concept.

It's taken quite a few batches to perfect. And now it's one of my favorites. My friends like this one quite a bit so I know the heat level is not all that high. You can always add a few more smoked habanero to increase the heat. I like to deseed my tomatoes. Some people will find that tedious but I don't mind and I think it makes for a better looking Salsa with a lot less moisture.

Mix everything thoroughly and taste. The flavors have not yet blended but you can get idea of the salt you will need. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours. The heat level starts to wane after 24 hours. I'm not sure why. This effect makes this a prepare and serve today salsa. Serve with your favorite chips. Makes enough for one regular sized bag of chips.
