I made some pineapple-mango-habanero salsa tonight to go with grilled shrimp. It turned out great, but my mouth is burning (in a good way.) Before someone suggests drinking some milk, the Ommegang Witte I’m drinking is doing a fair job of keeping my mind off the heat.
Wash your hands before you go to the bathroom.
This is VERY IMPORTANT.
And also before handling contact lenses

I’ve made both mistakes.
Sleep in a seperate room from your SO, if there is one. Sleep in a seperate room from your hands if there is not.
Got a recipe? I’m growing habaneros, and looking for things to do with 'em.
(Also, wearing rubber gloves makes working with them much easier…)
I took the necessary precautions, so my hands were fine, but thanks for the warnings!
My recipe was very simple. 1 small can of pineapple chunks, cut into smaller pieces. 2 TBSP of jarred mango chutney I had in the fridge. 1/2 of 1 habanero, chopped fine. Mix together and let sit for a few hours before eating.
Super hot salsa and a Witte? Want!
