Fruit Salsa
Description
The Fruit Salsa blends tart and sweet fruits including Golden Delicious apples, kiwi, strawberries, and raspberries. The fruits are portioned into uniform, small pieces to ensure consistent texture and ease of dipping. A mixture of raspberry jam and sugars is stirred into the fruit, enhancing sweetness and adding a slight stickiness to hold the salsa together.
The accompanying cinnamon chips are made by brushing soft taco-sized flour tortillas with melted butter, sprinkling a cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on both sides, then cutting into triangles. Baking these chips at 350°F until lightly browned results in a crunchy, flavorful chip that contrasts with the fresh fruit.
This fruit salsa is ideal as a refreshing snack or appetizer. The cinnamon chips provide a warm, spiced flavor that complements the fruit’s sweetness. It is best served chilled, and the salsa and chips can be stored separately to maintain texture.
When preparing, dice fruit evenly and cut the apple last to prevent browning before combining. Store the salsa in an airtight container refrigerated for up to five days, and keep the cinnamon chips in a plastic bag for up to a week to maintain crispness.
