Thank you so much. Your video was the closest there is to pace sauce.

the recipe works great, I don't like heat so only one jalapeno no seeds, but it stays for months in the fridge. I only know that because it got shoved in the back and lost for a couple months.

You make cooking so simple! Great flavor with a minimum amount of ingredients. Terri I love it that your recipe uses the whole can of tomato sauce instead of a partial. What am I going to do with a small bit of leftover sauce, too many recipes elsewhere don’t consider that.

I’m looking forward to making this recipe because I love Pace Picante. Thanks for your hard work!!
