Recipe Love :: Fruit Salsa

I, my friends, shall tell how to make this little taste o' heaven in 5 simple steps...

Step 1. Sample the goods at your mother-in-laws house and decide it's something you can't live without.

Step 2. Have your husband call his mother and steal the recipe for the goods.

Step 3. Go to Macey's at 10:30 at night to buy all the goods for the stolen recipe.
Question: is it just me or does Macey's grocery store always seem to be the happening place, especially at night. I know I live in a small town, but it's not that small.

Step 4. Convince your husband to chop up all the fruit into itty-bitty pieces...

He was a slicin'-dicin' fool.

Check out the concentration and the furrowed brow. Only a well seasoned professional could execute such culinary chopping skills. I think I shall call him my little domestic divo.

Now normally there would be a picture of our/Nate's end result, which would be a beautiful image of a bowl full of mouth-watering exotic fruit salsa. Unfortunately, there isn't one. I just consider that a testament of how good this fruit salsa is- it was gone before I had a chance to even take a picture. Yes, my friends, it is that good and very addicting.

Although you might be tempted to just eat this fruit salsa up with a spoon, don't. I assure you it is best eaten with homemade cinnamon & *sugar tortilla chips.

*Note to readers: Make sure when cooking this recipe with your spouse that you also practice the skill of communication. It is important AT ALL TIMES to know which unmarked bowl contains the salt and which one contains the sugar. I found this one out the hard way. And no, adding several extra spoonfuls of sugar to your homemade chips does not cover up the distinct taste of salt & cinnamon. Those two items were never meant to go together.

El recipe for Fruit Salsa

- 2 kiwis (or 1 mango)
- 2 apples (or pears)
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 cups strawberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3 tbsp any flavor of jam

Dice all the fruit and place in a medium bowl. Add sugar, brown sugar & jam. Mix together and let it chill in the fridge.

El recipe for cinnamon & sugar tortilla chips

- 10 10 inch flour tortillas
- Butter flavor non-stick spray
- Cinamon & sugar (not salt)

Slice the tortillas into wedges. Spray both sides with your butter flavored non-stick spray. Place the sprayed tortilla chips on a cookie sheet and sprinkle just one side with the cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.

And for my last any final step....
ENJOY!
