Hot And Smoky Blackberry-Peach Fruit Salsa
Ingredients -
1 lb blackberries (use fresh blackberries if at all possible, though frozen will do in a pinch)
2 large peaches or nectarines, peeled and diced
2 jalapeno or Serrano peppers, diced
1 chipotle pepper (optional)
1 tbsp sugar (turbinado sugar or brown sugar are best)
Juice of 2 limes
¼ tsp cumin
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Even with a comparatively large list of ingredients for a simple fruit salsa recipe, this salsa is a very easy one to make.
Wash the blackberries and chop in half.
Peel and dice the peaches or nectarines and dice the peppers, combining in a bowl.
Add the sugar, lime juice, cumin, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Refrigerate the salsa for a few hours before serving; not only will this allow the flavors to combine and deepen, but it also makes for a slightly hotter tasting salsa.
Fruit salsa can be just as exciting as any tomato salsa and this potent fruit salsa recipe is ample evidence of that fact.
