Review: Pace's Pineapple Mango Chipotle Salsa

In 1947, David Pace, founder of Pace Foods, created Pace's original salsa variety, known as Picante Sauce.  It wasn't until 1981 that they introduced the Mild and Hot varieties of this salsa, and in 1989 a thick and chunky version was released.

Finally, in 2008, Pace released a line of five new salsas, including this sweet sauce which incorporates fruit to add a unique taste.  Pace's Pineapple Mango Chipotle Salsa contains all the usual parts of salsa, such as tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions, but adds a variety of ingredients which elicit a sweet and smoky flavor.

Unfortunately, the salsa is only available in the medium variety, which may leave a bit to be desired among those who enjoy spicier products.  But it makes up for its lacking spice level with its great taste and nice, smooth consistency. 

Ingredients:
- Tomatoes
- Pineapple
- Fresh Jalapeno Peppers
