I have been refining this recipe for a while now and think I have the desired heat (for myself). This is not a super spicy salsa (although you can make it so). It's flavourful, does pack some heat, and then recedes a bit; the flavour changes as consumption occurs ;-) Warning: this is like crack. I could sit down and eat the entire jar. LOL
