Sting's Salsa

Directions

1. 1
   Combine first 8 ingredients.
2. 2
   Use at least half the tomato paste.
3. 3
   If you use the whole can, it will be thick.
4. 4
   It will have great flavor, but very little heat at this point.
5. 5
   Add whatever hot peppers you like.
6. 6
   Personally, i like to add one habanero or one scotch bonnet for some decent heat and flavor.
7. 7
   Another choice is 1-3 jalapenos.
8. 8
   All i do is cut off the stem and finely dice/mince the peppers, seeds and all.
9. 9
   Please wear rubber gloves when handling the diced peppers and do not rub your nose or eyes!
10. 10
    Another flavor variant is to use lemon juice instead of lime juice.
11. 11
    Letting the mix sit for an hour will allow the flavors to meld better especially if you add hot peppers.
