Recipe Notes:
- For a spicier kick, leave some or all of the seeds and stems in from the jalapenos. If your jalapenos are
mild, consider adding a pinch of cayenne for extra heat. - If you enjoy the smoky flavor of cumin, add a couple of pinches to enhance the taste.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if you prefer a sweeter salsa. Omit honey if you want it less
sweet. This recipe is flexible and adapts to your preferences. - Feel free to experiment by adding a roasted tomatillo for a delightful twist.
- While the recipe excludes onion, you can incorporate 2-3 tablespoons of chopped red onion if you desire.
