SEASONAL-
BUBBIE'S HABA-LAVA
Citrus Habanero
When it’s citrus season in the Valley, it’s time for Bubbie’s Haba-Lava. Tempestuous. Passionate. Complex. The words to describe Bubbie, my great-grandmother -- and this torrid salsita. Haba lava. Welcome to the fire. Lovingly made with lemons from my mom’s backyard.
$7/8 oz. Hotness 8 1/2 out of 10
Shanita’s Salsitas are produced in small batches, which means the heat and flavor may vary. And, each jar is affectionately made with only the best quality of ingredients available. What’s "Shanita" all about anyway? Growing up Jewish in a loving family on the Texas-Mexico border, cultures blend in strange ways. Bar Mitzvahs become pachangas. Tortillas replace bagels. Jalapenos find their way into falafel. Your Spanish is better than your Yiddish. Even my nickname, “Shanita,” is a cross-cultural mash-up. (Shanna is Yiddish and -ita is the Spanish suffix for small.) My Salsitas are culturally fused, too: a tribute to strong family members, the border town of my childhood, and the influences of this great big wide world. Some hit with a sudden, white-hot heat. Others tease with a spicy come-on. All are made with passion and flavor to satisfy everyone’s needs.
