Thanks, Rita. I didn't put in a vegetable garden this yard - too busy getting the raised beds in the front yard put together, so the heat was here before I was able to deal with veggies (nice break this year). I thought the 'Black Prince' was heirloom but couldn't remember - thanks!
I've grown several yellow and red/yellow striped varieties that I liked in picos because they paired nicely with other veggies. I haven't try them in salsas by themselves (I've thrown one in a couple times with various red ones) because of their sweetness but I would think they would bring interesting undertones to the party.
Reading your post, Rita, reminded me I have a friend from Latin America who makes a salsa with chocolate sometimes. I don't know what all she puts in it but it has habaneros, (and sometimes jalapenos) and the chocolate enhances the hot very nicely. I know she just throws in any kind of tomato she has on hand since the tomato is more of a base ingredient rather than a specific flavor. Excellent but it doesn't last long at parties so we have to get in line early!
