Sweet Heat

So simple, so fiery, so good. Great for suprising chile-head friends or unsuspecting guests (do warn them ahead of time).

Luau success!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I recently made Alton?s spicy pineapple salsa for a luau that I hosted. It was a big hit. I found myself refilling the dish... it was in no less than three times! The combination of the sweetness of the pineapple and the spicy of the pepper dance in your mouth in an almost magical way and balance each other well. I highly recommend this recipe; it will be a hit with your family or with guest at any gathering.Read more

WOW
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

what fun!! A weird mix that we all loved for our sunday dinner finish. With ice cream it's not too spicy, and very good just... with the sweet chips. I made a double batch and we had no leftovers.Read more
