Blueberry Habanero Salsa

  4.0 – 2 reviews  • Salsa Recipes

Favorite among the family. This unusual combination results in a lovely and tasty dessert. I’ve used serrano peppers instead of habaneros to make a milder salsa, but I like the juicy apricot flavor of the habaneros better. I occasionally add blue agave at the last minute to soften it.

The concept was great but the flavor wasn’t really balanced. I added 4 tsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tsp brown sugar, and used garlic salt rather than himalayan salt and it was AMAZING. I only used 4 habaneros and it was plenty spicy. It was good with pork but I REALLY loved it with tortilla chips. I think it would be delicious with fish as well.
