Double Your Appetite With This Double-Spiced Salsa

When it comes to gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, they are loaded with flavors and sweetness – and juice. So, they require a sharp knife (and a delicate hand).
We’ve got the first part covered. The second is up to you.
Also – as a coincidence of Mother Nature – when heirloom tomatoes are in season in the north, we also get amazing hot peppers, cucumbers, and corn. The farmers market is a veritable riot of color with reds, greens, yellows – not to mention sweetness and spice.
Which makes us think of salsa.
This is the perfect farmers market salsa because you can grab everything in the early afternoon and get it prepped and in the fridge while you’re getting ready for a seasonal potluck party. It’s the perfect dish to take to the lake with friends for a couple of beers.
Salsa. Beer. Friends. Skipping rocks.
Is there anything better?
This salsa is loaded with citrus flavor, along with two types of heat from both fresh jalapenos and pickled jalapeno brine, which ensures the spice is in every bite.

I got these for my husband and he LOVED them! Starting with the box - so well made and packaged - beautifully designed and balanced handle - everything is perfect about the knife. Great job F N Sharp!
Functional, great capacity, and beautifully made. We tossed our old knife block out, but included the old knives in with the new, as there is ample room.
