Worth,
I got to make my version of sauce today. I make a salsa verde too, but today I made what I call banana pepper catsup. Thing is, I have the sneaky suspicion my Banana pepper catsup is closer in taste to your salsa verde than my salsa verde is!

Does a rose by any other name smell as sweet?

Every year my Banana pepper catsup comes out a little different, because I never measure, and ingredients are whatever I have at hand. But this year it just happened to come out really well, best so far.

Here is how I do it.

2 parts sweet yellow banana peppers
2 parts sweet yellow tomatoes or sweet ripe tomitillos
1 part crushed Pineapple
1 part mandarin oranges
1/2 part sweet onion
1/4 part sugar/honey or to taste
1 single green cayenne pepper per quart or to taste
fresh Tarragon to taste
fresh mint to taste
dash of cinnamon to taste

Use a blender on high to blend it smoothy consistency.
Slow cook the mixture several hours and reduce until it resembles a thick apple sauce.
Use a funnel to fill a catsup type bottle.
Cap and refrigerate.

There are very few sweet sauces I like, but this one works! Dipping chicken nuggets, glaze on a Thanksgiving ham, just like catsup on any sandwich, like Bar B Q sauce in baked beans or on the grill, in Chinese recipes instead of sweet n sour sauce. You name it.

I will be posting it also in recipe section, but I posted here to find out what you think.
