Fruit Salsa Ingredients

  • Apple: Adds a crisp texture—use your favorite variety.
  • Lime: A squeeze of lime prevents the apple from browning; lemon juice is a fine substitute.
  • Fruit Preserves: Raspberry preserves add a lovely flavor, but use any jam you like—strawberry, apricot, or orange marmalade all work.
  • Fruit: Feel free to swap in pears, peaches, or blueberries. Avoid fruits that become mushy, like bananas or very soft raspberries.
  • Add Herbs: Fresh mint or basil brightens the salsa and makes a pretty garnish.

How to Make Fruit Salsa

This fruit salsa comes together in minutes. Once the fruit is prepped, simply toss, chill briefly if you like, and serve. It’s hard not to snack straight from the bowl!

  1. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the diced apple and stir to coat to keep it from browning.
  2. Combine Fruit: In a large bowl, combine diced strawberries, kiwis, apple, and mango.
  3. Add Preserves: Stir in two tablespoons of raspberry jam (or your favorite flavor).
  4. Stir and Serve: Gently mix everything, then serve with cinnamon chips or tortilla chips and enjoy.

Alyssa’s Pro Tip

Cutting the Fruit: Dice the fruit into small, uniform pieces so every bite is balanced and easy to scoop.

How to Store Fruit Salsa

  • Refrigerator: Keep the salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving.
  • Make Ahead: This salsa is excellent to prepare in advance. It often tastes even better the next day as the fruit juices meld.
  • Freezer: Do not freeze fresh fruit salsa—thawing will make the fruit watery and mushy.
