I love this salsa, but I usually use 3-4 Serrano peppers, which is a bit.... excessive to many. If your nose isn't running and your eyes aren't watering, it doesn't count as salsa.

*rofl* Fantastic! That food processor is going to have a very interesting life at 221B!
I'd love to try your salsa too, the hotter the better. I eat jalapenos as though they were chips. :D Do you leave the seeds in the serrano peppers or take them out before dicing?

Thank you! Couldn't resist. It was either that or my homemade Irish cream...

Oh, also, if you give it a go, I forgot to add that you throw in some cloves of garlic. Usually about 3/4 depending on your taste. It's a pretty forgiving recipe.

afjkdslafj My brother's roommate is from Wisconsin, so I toned it down to 2 serrano peppers... He still thought it was too spicy. :||
