HOW TO MAKE FRUIT SALSA

ONE: Trim and dice all the fruit into similar sizes. Mix together with chopped mint leaves in a large bowl. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

TWO: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Make the pita chips by cutting each pita bread into 6 wedges. Brush with olive oil.

THREE: Sprinkle each wedge with bourbon sugar. Bake for 7 minutes or until crispy. Serve with fruit salsa.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE CAN I MAKE THIS?

Once you dice the fruit so small it will start to release its juices and will get watery. I wouldn’t make this more than 2 days in advance. And you might have to drain off any excess juices that accumulate during storage.

CAN I FREEZE FRUIT SALSA?

I don not recommend freezing your fruit salsa. When you freeze fruit it breaks the structure and the fruit releases all its water. If you freeze this it will be mush when you thaw it.

CAN I SUBSTITUTE FOR ALLERGIES?

Of course you can! I just keep notes of the total amounts of fruit and then use what I have. If I can’t find good strawberries I would just add more of something else.

CAN I USE ANOTHER HERB BESIDES MINT?

I haven’t found one that I like as much I love the mint, but feel free to experiment with herbs that you know you like.
