TANGY TEXAS SALSA

Tangy Texas Salsa image

I'm a "transplant" from Wisconsin currently living in Texas. Even after 20 years, I can't get enough of our wonderful local citrus. This is one way to work it into a main dish. The combination of tangy fruit, spicy jalapeno and distinctive cilantro is perfect over any meat, poultry or fish. We also dip into it with chips. -Lois Kildahl, McAllen, Texas

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 can of pinto beans, drained
1 can of blackeyed peas, drained
1 can of shoepeg corn
1 jalepeno
1 red onion
1 green pepper
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 orange pepper
1/4 cup oil (original recipe is 1/2 cup, but I don't think that much is necessary)
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup sugar (I used baking Splenda to save on calories)
3/4 cup cider vinegar

Steps:

Chop up all the peppers, onion, and jalepeno (this is where having a chopper is nice, especially since I usually make triple batches for parties)
Put the oil, pepper, sugar, and vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to boil to dissolve and then let cool.
Mix all the ingredients together and let sit in fridge overnight.
