A more fitting name, but I prefer the more eclectic pico de gallo. Whatever you want to call it, this simple salsa recipe is a timeless classic. It’s easy to make and only requires a few ingredients….

I love a tasty spicy pepper jam. It’s one of my favorite breakfast condiments. Sweet, a little spicy—it’s such a good topping for a breakfast sandwich.
