Fresh Hot Piquin Salsa

This Hot Piquin Salsa made with fresh piquin peppers is an easy to prepare spicy sauce; a few drops render a lot of heat. Yes, these little peppers are hot, very hot! Fresh Piquin salsa is usually made right before serving. This is a home-style salsa, so it is hard to find it on restaurants tables.
