Salsa too HOT!!

I made a batch of fruity salsa this afternoon and I failed to carefully read the can of diced peppers before I added them. It turned out that instead of chopped green chilies [mild] they were chopped jalapenos [hot]. The resulting salsa is really good but has a slow burn that's about a full star hotter then what I really intended, and is just barely within my tolerance.

It's so good. But... but ... but... it's so hot.

In the salsa is:
  • 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped fine
  • one 4 oz can diced jalapenos
    should have been diced green chilies
  • one 14.5 oz can petite cut diced tomatoes
  • one 14.5 oz can petite cut diced tomatoes with zesty jalapenos
  • one nectarine, chopped
  • two packets Splenda
  • 1/2 cup fresh blue berries
  • 1/4 cup dried chopped onions
  • splash lemon juice
  • two pinches garlic salt
  • dash Old Bay
Mix ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl. Let stand 30 minutes. Serve with corn tortilla chips. Refrigerate unused portion.
