CHUNKY GUACAMOLE  (makes 3 cups)

To ripen hard avocados, leave them in a closed paper bag at room temperature for a few days.  If you want to make the guacamole a day ahead, be sure to press plastic wrap directly on the surface and store in the refrigerator.

3 ripe Hass avocados

2 tablespoons Florida Key West  Key Lime Juice

2 tablespoons Florida Key West Lemon Juice

2 plum tomatoes, finely diced

1/2 med. onion, finely diced

1 jalapeno pepper, minced (with seeds if desired)

1 garlic clove, minced

2 tablespoons chopped, fresh cilantro

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Halve avocados and remove pits.  Score flesh into cubes with a small sharp knife, and scrape into a medium bowl.  Stir in key lime juice, lemon juice, tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, garlic and cilantro.  Season with salt and pepper.
