Jalapeno Vinegar Peppers Dice it all up
THEN...mix the juice from the jalapeno vinegar can all into the cabbage, tomato, pepper mix
Salt real good too!!! (sea salt would be good)
Use the thicker restaurant style tortilla chips with this salsa....
This recipe sounds so simple, but in California, people look for the Mexican restaurants that serve this salsa along with the red tomato salsas. They bring it out right off with baskets of tortilla chips while you are looking at the menu to order. It is a real big favorite out here!!! I've been wanting the recipe for a very very long time myself.

FRY BREAD
(from friend in Native American Chat)
This is one of the best northern style fry bread recipies I have found, hope you all enjoy...(the raisins are my own addition, per my boyfriends request)
1 pkg dry yeast (quik rising is ok)
2-3 c warm water
2 TBS instant potatoes (or dry powdered milk)
1 HEAPING TBS sugar ( you may want to add a bit more to your taste)
1 pinch salt
1 c melted shortening or lard
5-6 c of flour
2 cups raisins
Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water (not too hot), set aside
In large bowl, add 2 TBS instant potatoes (or powdered milk), sugar, salt and melted lard, mix
Add water/yeast mixture to lard mixture & additional cups of water
Gradually add enough flour to make a bread dough (not sticky), mix in raisins, and then let rise
Break off portions of the bread dough to make into patties & fry them in lard ( I don't make them very thin and flat, I kinda of make them a bit thicker )
Pumpkin or Sweet Potato Fry Bread
2 cups self-rising flour, plus 1 to 2 cups for kneading
2 cups cooked, mashed, fresh pumpkin
fresh Yams mashed or
1 16-ounce can pumpkin OR
1 16-ounce can of yams
1 tablespoon warm milk or water*
3/4 cup brown or white sugar
Oil or shortening for frying
MY ADDITIONS:
*1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
*1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
*1/4 Vanilla
*1 teaspoon butter (melted into the milk)
2 teaspoons milk
Directions:
Place 2 cups of flour in a large mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine pumpkin, warm milk, and sugar. Make a well in the bowl and pour in the pumpkin (or sweet potato mixture) and knead and knead. Form into a ball. Wrap in saran wrap or ziplock bag and put into the refrigerator for 2 hours. This mixture can also be frozen for a later date too. Heat oil in cast iron skillet (I used my electric wok for this one) to 350 degrees. Cut the firm dough into quarters and roll up into balls, then pat them -- like hamburger patties. You can make them large or small. Put into the hot oil. Let cook on one side for 2-1/2 minutes and then on the other side. They will rise up to the top like frybread or donuts. Take them out and drain off excess oil. Sprinkle confectionery sugar on them and serve hot.

Kuchen or cake using blueberries.
