Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh fruit (peaches, papaya, or mango (fine diced)
- 1/2 small red onion, fine diced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and ribs removed, diced (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon sugar (depends on the sweetness of the fruit)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste

How to Make
-
Step 1: Salsa ... Add everything to a small bowl and lightly toss to combine. Make sure not to break up the fruit too much; but, make sure that everything is combined. The lime juice is what will prevent the fruit from browning. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or in a tupperware 'like' container for 2-4 hours for the flavors to develop. You can always serve it right away; but, it is better after is has set a while.
-
Step 2: Serve ... If you want, you can add the cilantro right before serving. If you aren't a fan of cilantro - try a mix of cilantro and mint; or even mint and parsley. This salsa is a perfect compliment to seafood, chicken, or pork. Also, as mentioned ... it is also fantastic on tacos or quesadillas. It is really a great condiment to many dishes. ENJOY!
