We are still receiving bushel baskets with avocados! A 'family member' keeps on bringing them in! Every female at this 'home' has the shiniest hair possible! We made this guacamole for a change of pace - it is spicy and I gave it away to the staff; keeping some for myself. Unlike other 'Latin Americans the Cubans don't like their food spicy so we had enough to go around and around. A pickled jalapeno makes this guacamole tangy , to say the least!!! Melissa Rubel from F&W Magazine. This can be served with Seasoned Party Pitas, or Parmesan Pita Chips, or Ricotta-Garlic Pita Wedges, or Manchego Crackers or tortilla chips. Ingredients:

1 pickled jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, plus |
1 teaspoon jalapeno juice, brine from the jar |
1 garlic clove, minced |
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
