Notes
For mild salsa - remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno peppers.
For medium salsa - cut the jalapeno peppers in half and toss them in the blender as is.
Spicy salsa - use serrano peppers.
Make sure to remove the center cap or lift the spout cover on the blender to vent while blending. Cover with a kitchen towel if needed to avoid splatters on the ceiling.
