fiery salsa

I got this recipe from a local farmer at a Pepper Festival in Pasco, Washington. He was selling net bags that included all of the required ingredients. He told me I would be able to make this to suit anyone's taste by simply adjusting how many seeds I left in the peppers when minced them up. One clue to avoid burning your eyes with pepper juice is to either wear gloves when cutting up the vegies or turn a produce plastic bag into a glove so you keep the pepper/onion oils off your hands.
