Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
- Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- * preferably Habanero or Manzanno/Ricoto
- Finely chop the jicama in a processor. Squeeze the lime over it to keep it from browning and to add flavor.
- Add one can of water to the orange juice concentrate (instead of the 3 cans called for in orange juice). Pour 1/2 cup of the orange juice over the jicama. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight. The jicama readily takes on the flavor of the oranges and will taste like "crunchy oranges". You can add water to the remaining orange juice and use it for juice.
- At least 3 hours before you need the salsa, Finly mince the onion (preferably Vidalia onion or Texas 1015). Using the processor, mince the jalapeno and habanero after removing the seeds.
- Peel the mangos and coarsly chop by pulsing the processor.
- Combine all ingredients and cover with plastic until time to serve.
- This is good served with tortilla chips or served over grilled chicken. I even like it over vanilla ice cream. It will be very hot to non-chile Heads, but very mild and delicious to those who love chile peppers.
