Taco or Tostado Dip (Salsa)

This is the only salsa I really, really like. It is the best!!! You can make it as hot or not as you like and you can adjust the sweet or sour to your taste. Sample it as you go and add more or less sugar and vinegar or pepper seeds. It is chunky and I love eating it right out of the jar. It’s that good!!!
