"Mmm, Rita, this sauce is AMAZING!!! It tastes spicy, without being too hot to handle and there also is tartness from the vinegar. The tomatoes, bell peppers and onion go so well together and the herbs add a wonderful distinct background flavour. All in all this is a perfect combination of flavours and just what you need to have in your pantry. It will kick up any meal and really make it special. I had it with rice today and plan on using it in many casseroles and pasta dishes to come. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this gem from your kitchen with me! It will be treasured!"

"WooHoo, this stuff is hot, hot, hot! I love it. It has a beautiful color and a wonderful taste. I wasn't sure the Chipotle Peppers in Adobo would be hot enough, so I added two Jalapeno's. Yikes, I maybe should have only added one. I just love Garlic, so I added more garlic too.
Can't wait for the family to try this salsa. Thanks for yet another fabulous recipe!"
