2 cups

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Black beans, dried
1 teaspoon Salt
2 eaches Habanero chiles, sliced into rings, with seeds
½ cup Ginger juice
¾ cup Sugar
¼ cup Water
2 eaches Yellow tomatoes, seeded & diced
1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Wash & drain the beans. Place in a large pot covered with water & cook until soft, about 1 to 1½ hours depending on the age of the beans. Drain & transfer to a clean pot.

Add the salt, habaneros, ginger juice, sugar & water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover & simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat & strain off liquid, rinse & transfer to a mixing bowl. Stir in tomatoes, lime juice & let sit for 30 minutes before serving.

This salsa rates a 7 out of 10 on the heat scale.

NOTE: To make ginger juice, grate 8 oz of ginger & squeeze through a garlic press.
