Recipe Notes
Serving fruit salsa with cinnamon chips is hands down my favorite way to enjoy it. The sweet and tangy fresh fruit combined with crunchy and sweet cinnamon tortilla chips is perfection.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It’s super healthy! This is basically fruit salad with the only added sugar coming from the strawberry jam. It’s a great way to get vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and more.
- It can be used in so many ways. You can serve this as an appetizer along with chips, or as a side all by itself. Fruit salsa is also a perfect topping for yogurt, ice cream, or even tacos!
- Versatile. There is so much you can do to adjust this recipe beyond just switching up the fruits. Feel free to add fresh herbs, like mint or basil, veggies, like jicama or celery, or even mix in a touch of heat by adding a small amount of finely minced jalapeno.
Key Ingredients You Will Need
- Mixed Fruit: choose fruits with a variety of colors and textures that can be cut into similar sized pieces, including pineapple, strawberries, peaches, green apple, kiwi, and mango.
- Lime Juice: fresh squeezed lime juice adds tangy flavor, but it also helps to keep the apples from oxidizing and turning brown too quickly.
- Strawberry Jam: when combined with the lime juice, the strawberry jam creates a sweet glaze for the fruit. I like to use my Strawberry Freezer Jam, but you could use store bought jam. Other jam flavors would work, too, such as apricot jam or raspberry jam.
How to Make Fruit Salsa
- Prepare the fruit. Wash, peel, and dice your assorted fruit so that you have about 5 cups total.
- Toss with strawberry lime. In a small bowl, combine the strawberry jam and lime juice, then toss with the diced fruit.
- Serve. Serve this fruit salsa with sweet and crunchy cinnamon chips, cookies, or crackers.
Recipe Tips
This is a super easy recipe, but there are definitely ways to make sure it’s the best that it can be!
- Use fresh fruit only! So much of the deliciousness of this recipe is because of the textures of the fruit, which will be completely lost by using frozen fruit.
- Cut your fruit small. If you cut the pieces too big, you’re just making a fruit salad. You won’t be able to eat it with chips, or be able to taste each of the fruits in every single bite.
- Experiment with different fruits and flavorings. Feel free to try out all different assortments of fruits, and play around with adding ingredients like fresh herbs, or spices like cardamom and ground ginger.
- Don’t be afraid to add a few savory ingredients. Diced red onion, jicama, or even jalapeno would taste great with all of the fruits.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
