Fantastic Pepper Salsa Recipe

3 red or yellow peppers, cored and chopped (you can use green too, but they have a bitterer taste)
1 habanero pepper, cored and chopped
1 red onion
2-3 cloves garlic
Juice from 2 limes
A bunch of honey (add to taste--about 3-5 tbsp, or more if you wanna go tight out)
2 capfuls apple cider vinegar (about 3/4 tsp)
About 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Chop it all up, and then chop it up more in the food processor. Do a good job, because the last thing you want is a fingernail-sized chunk of habanero stuck in the back of your throat. There are no tomatoes in this salsa--the original recipe called for them, but one time I forgot and it was a lot better. There's also about twice as much cilantro as the original recipe specifies. You have to stir it well, because the lime juice and vinegar tend to separate from the vegetable mush, but it's totally worth it. Just don't eat it right before you go out on a date, or the day before you go out on a date, or maybe if you ever plan on going out on a date again.

RATING: 88%, or 94% if you can keep from touching your eyes like I never can.

Canadian habaneros have less balls--if you're making this in Canada, you'll need 2 habaneros and 3 tbsps of cilantro.
