Pace Picante Sauce (Medium)

Note: Texan David Pace had been selling 58 different
varieties of jam, jellies, and sauces from the back of his liquor store
in the 1940s when he came up with a recipe for a thick and spicy
tomato-based sauce he dubbed "Picante." When sales of David's new sauce
took off, he concentrated all his efforts on marketing his all-natural,
preservative-free product, and designed the sauce's famous
hourglass-shaped jar (to keep it from tipping over). Now America's
number one Mexican hot sauce brand, Pace Foods, makes it known that it
still uses only fresh jalapeno peppers in the sauces, rather than the
brined, less flavorful jalapenos - like those canned nacho slices. Each
year all the fresh jalapenos used by the company weigh in at around 30
million pounds and the nation gobbles up around 120 million pounds of
the zingy sauces. Here's a simple recipe to make a kitchen copy of the
medium heat-level Pace Picante Sauce, which was the first variety David
created. The mild and hot versions were added in 1981, and you'll find
clones for those at the bottom of the recipe in Tidbits.


1 can (10.75 ounce) tomato puree
1 can full of water (1 1/3 cups)
1/3 cup chopped Spanish onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh jalapeno peppers, with seeds (3 to 4 peppers)
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt, rounded
1/4 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to
a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes or until thick. When
cool, bottle in 16-ounce jar and refrigerate overnight. Yields: 2 cups

Tidbits For Chickens
For the no heat version of the salsa, reduce the amount of fresh
jalapenos to 1 rounded tablespoon.
For the hot variety, increase the amount of jalapenos to 1/2 cup.
