I made this with yellow plums instead of red and I didn't measure the fresh jalapeno, just used half a jalapeno (seeded). The pepper was a welcome kick to the the otherwise sweet salsa (there was no 'sour' despite the recipe's name) without making it too spicy. We ate this with tortilla chips alongside guacamole and other dips as a starter for a company potluck.
