It pretty much all depends on your tastes. I personally find that Pace Picante sauce is best because I like the chunky pieces for the extra while it cooks. But if you like the smother feel without the chunky pieces it then the plain would also work.

What is the difference between salsa and picante sauce?

Picante is salsa. Picante is to salsa as grape is to jelly or Taurus is to Ford. It's just a variety of salsa. "Picante" means "spicy," so salsa picante is "spicy sauce." There are also sweet salsas and sour salsas.To add to the correction, "salsa" simply means "sauce." So Picante is just a description of the sauce, or salsa, and it indeed means "spicy," or, perhaps, "sharp." In Spanish, it would be "Salsa Picante," but companies like Pace call it Picante Sauce.^ Picante is a Spanish adjective that derives from picar, or "to sting," it refers to the feeling caused by the salsa on a persons tongue.And to correct the original answer, pico de gallo in much of Northern Mexico is a non-saucy mix of chopped tomatoes, onions, chiles, and so on. Farther south, it is made with jicama and orange, and is another thing entirely.Now it's my turn. To the second editor: if picante sauce supposedly "is a type of salsa," as you say, then how could there the same brand of both products sitting side-by-side on a shelf, as if they were different things--as if picante sauce was a completely separate thing from salsa?Also, how could there be a "spicy salsa" and a "non-spicy salsa" (non-picante) if both types have their medium and *hot* versions along with the mild version (which means that they *both* can be spicy)?I can see this is not a good place for getting answers, despite the website's name.

How do you make salsa hot I have tried everything from jalapano's to habanaro's I am canning the salsa so I am cooking it Is this the problem am I cooking the hot out of the peppers What then?

I think you're referring to hot (spicy) rather than hot (cold). If you want to spice up your salsa, consider blending them with the seeds. If you still need it to be spicier, mix and match with different jalapenos. Look at Asian cooking. Spiciness does not necessarily lose itself when it comes to heating it up. If you soak them in water long enough, remove the seeds then bake it in oil, sure, you'll lose a lot of its spiciness. Consider removing more vinegar from your salsa and adding in more spices. Also, remember that things like tomato can suck up a lot of your 'spicy' flavor or neutralize your vinegar flavor. Yes! leave the seeds and everything in! (except the stems). Make sure the outer flesh on the jalapeños is thick. Try Chile de arbol or chipotle for a REAL salsa with kick!
