Pumpkin Habanero Salsa #PumpkinWeek

Spicy Pumpkin Habanero Salsa, with diced fresh pumpkin, tomatoes, tomatillos, onions, habanero and jalapeno peppers, is a seasonal treat perfect for serving with tortilla chips at Fall parties, or on tacos.

Welcome to Day 4 of #PumpkinWeek hosted by Terri of Love and Confections. This is my last recipe for this week, I hope you found something you liked! I have to say, after all these years my favorite pumpkin recipe that I've created since I started this site is Pumpkin Glazed Bacon from last year's #PumpkinWeek, but this Pumpkin Habanero Salsa comes a close second.

You can easily adjust how spicy this habanero salsa is by taking out the seeds and membranes (white parts of the insides of the peppers) of the peppers or leaving all or some of them in. I love spicy, so I chose to leave them in. Habaneros are a very spicy pepper so if you really can't take the heat, simply use 1-2 jalapenos only.
