Pumpkin spice does have its time and place; neither of which are in my dinner or anywhere near my tortilla chips. At least, that’s what I thought until I ate Mrs Renfro’s Pumpkin Salsa.
Pumpkin Salsa Queso and Pulled Pork Taquitos
Pumpkin Salsa is one of those items that’s so specialized it’s challenging to come up with new things to make with it. It goes with pork, though, and since I’m turning some smoked pulled swine into taquitos, making this as a fall holiday appetizer was a good idea.
Mrs Renfro’s Carolina Reaper Salsa Review
I really enjoyed Mrs Renfro’s Carolina Reaper Salsa and I’m making it my go-to for when I want something with real heat to it.

Burn Tested: Chicken in Strawberry-Rhubarb Salsa
That went well. Any time I bust open a jar of fruit salsa, I’m a little skeptical. Mango and peach I understand. When you start throwing berries into the mix with onions and peppers, though, I’m still getting used to the idea. I like fruit salsa but I’m still trying to wrap my noggin around it. At last year’s show Chehalem Ridge Brands gave me four of their fruit salsas to test out. I made some good pork burgers with the pineapple. Last night a group of chicken thighs hit the grill slathered in the company’s Swingin’ Strawberry-Rhubarb Salsa. The results came out better than I hoped.
Burn! Tested: Chehalem Ridge Pineapple Salsa
Hu-La-La Tropical Fruit Salsa from Chehalem Ridge Brands is the good kind of fiery fruit: pineappple, mango, and garlic getting down with the sting of jalapeno, habanero, and serrano fire.
