Salsa for winter
Description
Perfectly complements meat, poultry, and side dishes. My friend, a big fan of spicy sauces, shared this recipe for winter salsa—exactly this spicy and delicious one—with me. We prepared it together. If you can't wait to try the salsa, you can open a jar after just three days. Instead of sugar, you can add honey. Don't forget to add chili pepper (any type you like). Enjoy! The sauce is ready. Store in the refrigerator and serve with dishes.
