Salsa for Dessert?

Friday, August 26, 2011

At this time of year, I love taking advantage of all of our fresh locally grown ingredients, especially fresh fruit. Fresh fruit is a staple in our home. My girls would eat it all day long if they could. I've found them, on more than one occasion, huddling around a nearly empty large carton of berries, with stained faces and fingers. When making the following the recipe, they're usually right along side of me, grabbing as many "stragglers" that don't make it into the bowl as possible. Add whatever fruits that you love and/or are in season. I've made this recipe using many different combinations of "what looked most fresh" that day. Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Sugar Chips is a fun, healthy dessert or appetizer that will please your family and friends.


Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Sugar Chips

2 Kiwi, peeled and diced
2 Golden Delicious Apples, peeled cored and diced
1 Mango, peeled and diced
1 lb Strawberries, diced
1 C. Fresh Pineapple, diced
2 Tbsp. White Sugar
1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
3 Tbsp. Fruit Preserves, any flavor (I use Strawberry. Try your own homemade jam.)
10 (10 inch) Flour Tortillas
1 stick Butter, melted
2 cups Cinnamon Sugar

Directions:
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix kiwis, apples, strawberries, mango, pineapple,white sugar, brown sugar and fruit preserves. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush both sides of tortilla with melted butter. Sprinkle wedges with desired amount of cinnamon sugar. Cut into wedges and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool approximately 15 minutes. Serve with fruit salsa.
