Useful tips for Hawaiian Salsa

This is a papya. You remove the seeds just like you would a cantaloupe -- with a spoon.

Papaya up close.

You can use any hot peppers you'd like. The orange ones are habanero, red ones are Thai chili.

Remember: you can always add more. Start with one, especially if you're using the seeds. (The seeds are where all the heat lives.)

Serve in a cute bowl, if possible.

And if you made it too spicy, let it sit in the fridge for a few hours. It will mellow out and actually taste better as the flavors mesh.
