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 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: The jalapeno pepper has a pretty good flavor, similar to a green pepper with some spice. The heat of the pepper can vary quite a bit, the peppers that we ate had a decent amount of heat. I am rating the jalapeno a 5 out of 10 on the heat scale.
