It needs to set for awhile ~ an hour or so, for the dried peppers and the cumin to reach their potential. When I do that, I taste it and add the salsa (as needed) LAST. Enjoy. -- -Christie Earl {...sun!ios ...hplabs|fortune!oliveb}!tymix!earl 186,000 miles per second. It's not just a good idea... It's the law!!
