Mike:  Mimi’s Homemade Hot Pepper Salsa was very good.  The salsa actually contains jalapeno, chiltipin, and cayenne peppers.  This combination of peppers gives the salsa a noticeable bite.  Jarred salsa often loses its fresh taste.  The fresh taste of this salsa was a pleasant surprise, especially since the salsa was made over three months ago.  I am rating this salsa a 4 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Gunther’s Gourmet Tomatillo Salsa Verde is a thin green salsa.  I know that they were going for flavor with this salsa and not heat so I was not surprised when I didn’t notice any heat at all.  The challenge is that they seemed to forget the flavor also.  This sauce tastes like nothing more than pureed tomatillos.  We tried the sauce a few different ways to find something good about it, but we were unsuccessful.  I threw out the rest of this jar because no one wanted to eat it.  Plain Ketchup definitely has more spice than this sauce, so I am rating this sauce a 0 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  This salsa has a greenish color that makes it appear to have flavor, but the salsa is anything but flavorful.   The salsa is really quite bland.  I thought that bread would enhance the flavor of this salsa, but I was proven wrong.  I don’t hate this sauce, nor do I like it.  I am rating this sauce a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale.  I know that this was a salsa aimed more for flavor, but on the flavor scale, it may be as low as a pitiful 2.

Mike – Gunther’s Gourmet Jalapeno Salsa Fresca was a bit of a let down.  The salsa sounds and looks good, but is more like a spaghetti sauce.  The sauce is quite chunky and lacking on the flavor side.  The flavor is good, but very lite, actually pushing bland.  I can not recommend this salsa and believe that even Pace Picante Sauce has a  better flavor.  As for the heat of this salsa, it is almost non-existent.  You notice a very slight hint of spiciness in this salsa so I am rating the salsa a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale. 

Josh – This salsa tasted similar to a spaghetti sauce and on a chip this tasted just like spaghetti-o’s to me.  I thought the flavor of the sauce was decent and there was very little heat.  I am rating this salsa a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Gunther’s Gourmet Fiery Cranberry Habanero Salsa has a pretty good flavor with a typical salsa consistency.  The sauce has a tomato flavor with a hint of cranberry which is unique.  You would never guess there is Habanero peppers in this sauce by the taste or the heat.  I am rating this salsa a 2 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Josh:  I liked the flavor of Gunther’s Gourmet Fiery Cranberry Habanero Salsa, although I did not taste any cranberry.   I did not think the salsa had very much heat so I am surprised that they put a warning label on the jar.  I am rating this salsa a 2 out of 10 on the heat scale.

Mike:  Gunther’s Gourmet Fiery Peri-Peri Dark Cherry Salsa has a very unique flavor.  The sauce has the texture of a thin salsa with some chunks.  The initial noticeable taste is similar to a smokey salsa and is followed by a cherry after taste.  This sauce has a great flavor with very little heat, so you don’t need to be a chile head to be able to try this.  I am rating the heat of this salsa a 1 out of 10.

Josh:   I liked Gunther’s Gourmet Fiery Peri-Peri Dark Cherry Salsa, which surprised me because cherries mixed with peppers did not sound good.  The sauce was pretty good by itself, but I didn’t like the salsa on chips.  The heat of this salsa was barely noticeable.  Iam rating this salsa a 1 out of 10 on the heat scale.
