Looking for Apple Salsa Recipe

[tinasmom]

I am looking for a Apple salsa recipe to enter in our local Chilimania contest. Last year I made a cherry salsa and won first place. This was the first year we entered the contest. We promote our local Epilepsy affiliate and we donate all winnings to them. They even judge on booth themes. This year, we are going with a pirate theme.

Does it have a bite? Can you post a recipe? I'm open to any fruit salsa's that are different.

[Georgiagirl88]

It does have a bite..yet sweet too. A nice combination. I wish I had the recipe, but It was at a party. I bet you could find it on food network or one of those sites. The peach flavor in it was great if you like peaches! I will look around and see if I can find one for ya!

Maybe this will give you some ideas... mango salsa

Can you just use the same recipe as last year, but just substitute apples for the cherries? Maybe play with the spices a bit?

My cherry salsa recipe used cherry preserves in it and I don't think it would really taste that great. Maybe I will try a batch and see how it would taste, thanks for the idea. Bernard- the mango salsa looks so yummy. When there are fruit salsa's there, they are always mango and believe it or not, I like to be different.

Ayrrre, mate! Guess you could get out that pirate hat and serve this one!

I found this one in Weightwatchers.com:

Thank you for the recipe. I'm going to try it. I've found a few that I am going to try. One year we were pirate skeletons for halloween so we already have costumes. My husband has a prosthetic leg and his prosthesis guy made him a peg leg out of one of his old ones. This event is in September and I will take pics and make sure everyone can see this fun event.
