My preferred jarred salsa is Newman’s Own Mango OR Peach salsa. But the mango salsa is often hard for me to find.
I was at Wegmans today, and looked…sold out of the Peach, and Mango not one of the three Newman’s Own types they sell (just three? Really?)
So I got Wegmans brand peach-mango salsa. $3.49 for a 16 oz jar. Not bad! Decent heat but not TOO spicy hot, although the heat kicks in a bit more and lingers after several bites on a tortilla chip.
Maybe a bit too thin, making Newman’s better. But a decent sub.
And some start off with salt. I bought their DipShit blend fir veggies at a farmers market awhile back, and in looking at other blends on their site, many others start with salt as the first ingredient. Which, gor me, can mean too salty.
I’ve been really enjoying the hot sauce (“vinegar, chilies, garlic, salt, sugar”), which is from a spot we like in Sonoma. Hoping to try the umami salt on “dry brined” bone in skin on chicken breasts this evening.
I was also at Oaktown Spice today, their Albany store, because I found out they have tonic water kits. Commercial tonic water has more sugar than Coke, and the sugar-free varieties use saccharine.
