I'm a wimp! I made the ketchup with jalapenos, which are already up against my heat tolerance limits. LOVE avocados and prepared this way, they were a treat. The ketchup went so well with them, but we also thought it could go with a number of other items as well; i.e. as a burger topping. Thank you for posting, venus2!
