Fruit Salsa
Description
This Fruit Salsa blends peeled and diced kiwi and Golden Delicious apples with raspberries and diced strawberries, sweetened by white sugar, brown sugar, and fruit preserves. The mixture is chilled for at least 15 minutes to meld flavors while maintaining fruit texture. To avoid browning and excess juice, it is best prepared shortly before serving.
The salsa is traditionally served with warm cinnamon-sugar coated flour tortilla chips created by coating one side of tortillas with melted butter or cooking spray, sprinkling with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, cutting into wedges, and baking until crisp. Alternatively, cinnamon graham crackers or cinnamon pita chips can be used.
This dish works well as a light dessert or snack that combines fresh fruit and spiced sweetness with crunchy chips providing texture contrast. The cinnamon sugar on the chips enhances the fruit flavors while adding warmth.

Notes
- Prepare the fruit salsa shortly before serving to prevent apples from browning and excess juice development.
