My salsa turned out really sweet. My tomatillos are from my garden. My
neighbor made the same basic salsa with store-bought tomatillos -- his salsa
is not sweet. What gives? When I say sweet, I mean like the sweetness of
an orange. I was able to moderate the taste by using more lime juice. He's
using a recipe he got from a cooking class they took when in Mexico last
winter. But really, the recipes are the same -- tomatillos, onion, peppers,
garlic, cilantro and salt. My recipe has lime juice, his doesn't

Are some tomatillos sweeter than others by variety? Or sweeter because they
were picked ripe? Or???
