Greetings from an active lurker and 3d Annual Red Savina Buy participant Without raising the B word, has anyone cold pack canned a Habanero Mango Salsa and lived to tell about it? I am awash in the usual dire and terse USDA warnings etc about the dangers, but all of the references to salsa presuppose a tomato base rather than a mango or papaya fruit base. Nonetheless cilantro, onions and other low acid veggies are in there along with te Habs and a cup or more of vinegar ( as many seem to recommend) would defeat the purpose of the exercise. I have seen some references in the archive to boosting acidity with lemon juice and my recipe already has lime juice in it that could be increased without too much flavor disruption. Our government protectors being of precious little help, I turn to the follows of the pod for guidance. The weather in the Sacramento Valley is finally turning cold and wet :( and the Costco price of mango and papaya remains however briefly low :). Any help on or off line would be appreciated.
