Why a dry mix? Doesn’t salsa usually come in a jar? Salsa is what actually started our business. We were living just outside Nashville, Tennessee and coming to St. Augustine, Florida every summer to enjoy the beaches and the sites of the Nation’s Oldest City. When we discovered the unique datil pepper, that grows so well in North Florida’s warm climate and sandy soil, we immediately knew we wanted to incorporate it into our meals. My family loves salsa, and spicy foods so it just seemed like a natural progression when I started making salsa using datil peppers.
If you’ve never heard of a Datil Pepper, you are certainly not alone. The most searched article on Datil Peppers was written by Alex Pooler for Visit St. Augustine: “What the Heck is a Datil Pepper?”
One of my first blogs was all about the Datil Pepper that St. Augustine claims as one of it’s own distinctive claims to fame. Want to know more? Check out “Datil Pepper, What’s A Datil Pepper?”
With years of experience helping grandmother, I knew how to can tomatoes, and I knew how to make salsa, therefore, putting the two together was the next step. Soon I was filling my pantry with jars of freshly made Datil Pepper Salsa. I gave them away as gifts, I took them to parties, and above all, we ate lots and lots of salsa.
My entrepreneurial son, Parker, started selling jars of my salsa out of the trunk of his car while attending Mississippi State University, and a business was born. When we outgrew the cottage industry standards, the salsa had to be made in a USDA certified co-packing facility. It took a long time to find one that could take my recipe, scale it up, and have the salsa meet my taste and quality standards. We finally did find one, and for several years, things rocked on smoothly. Until circumstances dictated that we needed to change co-packers. Finding another facility to make “my” salsa proved a difficult and impossible task, so reluctantly, I took it off the market. It was over a year later, just last Fall, that the idea for a dry salsa seasoning blend was born.
The perfect way to make Datil Pepper Salsa, and it comes in a heat level for everyone. Mild, Medium and Smokin’ Hot. And if those aren’t just right, you can adjust the heat with one of my award winning datil pepper hot sauces.
You can also use 2 cups of fresh diced tomatoes, if your summer harvest provides a bounty. Try it with diced mango, peaches or pineapple for a fruity salsa.
