Sweet 'n Spicy Black Beans

• 1 (14 ounce) can black soybeans, drained
• 14-12 cup of your favorite spicy salsa, to taste
• 1 teaspoon chopped pickled jalapeno pepper (optional)
• cayenne, to taste
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 tablespoon cilantro, your preference
• 14 cup dry sherry
• 3 packets Splenda sugar substitute
• cornstarch or arrowroot (small amount of heat-activated thickener) (optional)

1. In a saucepan over medium to high heat, combine all ingredients but the thickener (I use about 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot powder).
2. When ingredients have simmered for about 5 minutes, sprinkle in the thickener and stir well; remove saucepan from heat and let the sauce thicken.
3. Serve and enjoy!
4. Makes 2-4 servings.
5. If your store doesn't carry black soy beans you can order them at the Eden website (http://www.
