Do you roll on the spicy side of the street? Give your margaritas the heat treatment with jalapeno puree! Just buzz up jalapenos with agave syrup to pump up your favorite ‘rita with an extra kick! It’s so good and so easy…and the spiciness is subtle.
JALAPENO PUREE
3 jalapenos, seeded and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons agave syrup (I use light organic blue agave from Wholesome Sweeteners)
Add to mini food processor and grind away! On day one, it will look all sorts of frothy like this.
Then it will settle down into this vibrant green color:
How much does it make? Why, a whole skull-ful! That’s just under 1/3 of a cup.
How much to use per drink? Try 3/4 of a teaspoon and see what you think!
How long does it keep? I have no idea, so call your friends, make plenty of margaritas and drink up! All the other kids with the pumped up kicks are on the jalapeno train–you should get on board, too! WOO WOO!

How do you know if it goes bad? Will it get moldy, I wonder? Pumped up kicks? There’s a video titled “kicked up pumps” but that’s a whole ‘nother theme

I don’t plan to keep it around long enough to find out, but I suspect anything will (get moldy) over time. That’s why I started with just three jalapenos. Besides, it’s good weather for ‘ritas this week!

I love the color of your jalapeno puree, I’ll bet you will not keep it around too long,lol! I could have used one of these margaritas today, too bad you don’t deliver;-)

Thank you–and how did you know? Yes, it’s a shame to waste something so green and tasty!
