    Welcome to Day 4 of #PumpkinWeek hosted by Terri of Love and Confections. This is my last recipe for this week, I hope you found something you liked! I have to say, after all these years my favorite pumpkin recipe that I've created since I started this site is Pumpkin Glazed Bacon from last year's #PumpkinWeek, but this Pumpkin Habanero Salsa comes a close second.

    You can easily adjust how spicy this habanero salsa is by taking out the seeds and membranes (white parts of the insides of the peppers) of the peppers or leaving all or some of them in. I love spicy, so I chose to leave them in. Habaneros are a very spicy pepper so if you really can't take the heat, simply use 1-2 jalapenos only.

        Hi Rosemary, sorry for the delay in answering. I have never canned, so I can't give advice other than because it is a cooked salsa I know it can be canned.

        Hi Emisha, did you mean all pumpkin puree instead of the fresh pumpkin? I suppose you could but then it wouldn't have the same texture. I would suggest 1 1/2 cups of puree.

          Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for the suggestion! Good to know if I am in mood for it and pumpkin isn't in season 😉
