Hi Charles
I occasionally make fruit salsa with pineapple and/or mango which gives a different flavor to potatoes or whatever you top with salsa.
Here it is if you want to try it:
Note: You can halve the recipe if it is too much - keeps for about a week. Never lasts longer than that around my home! I usually chill about an hour before using to marry the flavors.
This makes a bowlful. I put recipe in a glass (Corningware) covered container. Stainless steel or plastic not good to store in.
2 cups diced fruit (pineapple or mango or combination of both)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
2 Tbsp diced jalapeno (I used canned)
1 tsp to 1 Tbsp crushed garlic (depending on how much garlic you like - I like garlic in everything)
1 Tbsp Braggs' apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp of some of the fruit (pineapple and/or mango) juice OR water
1/2 tsp-1 tsp Kosher salt (your taste)
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1/2 tsp Mexican seasonings (cumin,cinnamon,turmeric,coriander,cardamon,oreganoetc) or bottled pre-mixed
Chopped cilantro (your taste) - some people don't like cilantro
Optional: 1-2 plum tomatoes, chopped
I put the vinegar and juice/water in a glass bowl, add garlic, onions, peppers and seasonings to marinate as I chop the fruit (and tomatoes).
Mix well to incorporate seasonings and fruit. Refrigerate at least an hour before serving.
ENJOY!
