  1. This was way too sweet. I was looking for a recipe like they have in resturants...a brownish red sauce that the put over enchiladas and burritos.
     
  2. I was looking for a sauce for tamales and came upon this one. Our family LOVED it. I did add more jalapeno and cayenne, but we like spicy food. It's such a versatile sauce; I too will be making this again -- doubling it -- so I can have it handy in the freezer. It's so good and fresh-tasting. Thanks, Sheri.
     
  3. FANTASTIC!!! I am going to make more to keep in my freezer, I used three jalapeno peppers and increased the garlic way up and adjusted the spice amounts just slightly, thanks for a wonderful recipe hon!...Kitten
     
  4. This is awful. It tastes like someone dropped a jalapeno into a bowl of ketchup... Wish I could get the money back I wasted on all these ingredients.
     
  5. Savory but not overpowering. Nice complement to tamales and we used the leftover for a chili base. Very easy.

I grew up in California and now live in Seattle Washington,and I really love it here! I've been cooking since I was about 10 and still enjoy cooking till this day. I don't really have a favorite food as I enjoy many different dishes. I do really enjoy cooking on a smoker, the taste is out of this world. I also enjoy barbecue, Italian, Mexican and Chinese just to name a few. As you will notice I also enjoy taking pictures of dishes I make, there's nothing like getting that great shot. Thank you for stopping in, I hope you enjoy my site!
