    One of the easiest appetizers to set out at a party is fresh salsa. Guests love to dunk chips into that fresh dip.

    One of my favorite book club party hostesses once served this amazingly delicious fresh strawberry mango salsa with cinnamon pita chips. The bowl disappeared in a flash and everyone begged for the recipe.

    It is one of the easiest fresh strawberry recipes to make with just a few easy ingredients.

    Serve it as traditional chips and salsa or on top of a crispy bread crostini like bruschetta!

    Ingredients

    This simple fruit salsa is made with a very short list of ingredients:

    • Fresh strawberries
    • Fresh mango
    • Brown sugar
    • Orange juice
    • Strawberry jam: I always use our homemade strawberry freezer jam, but you can use whichever brand you prefer.

    Serving Suggestions

    This fresh strawberry mango salsa tastes wonderful whether it is served at room temperature or cold straight from the fridge.

    You can make it a few hours in advance, but be sure to keep it stored in an airtight container. The strawberries will begin to lose their texture once the salsa sits for longer than 6 hours.

    Serve it in a large bowl with crispy cinnamon pita chips or over homemade crostini.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 quarts fresh strawberries hulled and diced
    • 1 fresh mango diced
    • 2 tablespoon brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoon orange juice
    • 2 tablespoon strawberry jam the homemade freezer variety is best but use what you've got!

    Instructions

    • Wash and carefully small dice the fruit. Toss together in a bowl and set aside.
    • In a smaller bowl, whisk together the sugar, juice, and jam until it is smooth. Pour over the fruit mixture and toss to combine.
    • It can be eaten immediately but I prefer to let the sugars marinate together in the refrigerator a bit first. If serving to children, be sure to have a full extra bag of the cinnamon chips, they were very popular.
