Oh how I love this salsa. Take note: the amount of red chile honey this calls for is much less than the amount which is made by following the red chile honey recipe. With that said, I like this salsa a little sweeter and so I added more of the red chile honey than is called for. I also like to put in more corn and less black beans than is called for (just a personal preference). This is a really great recipe that I get requests for all the time. Thanks for posting.

This is a perfect condiment to serve with a cheese platter, grapes and either fresh bread or Water crackers. It would compliment any pork or chicken meal as well. I cut the recipe in half with no problem - The Chili honey only takes a minute to make and worth the effort. I did cut back on the honey because I didn't want the salsa too sweet Thanks Nick for a neat salsa recipe

I learned to cook at home as a child and it's been a hobby of mine ever since. Although I can get creative, I steal most of my ideas from the one hundred or so cookbooks I have accumulated through the years, or attempting to copy wonderful meals I find in restaurants.
