Notes

Recipe Tips:
    • Perfect Texture. Chop the peaches and pineapple into uniformly small pieces to ensure every bite has a balanced mix of flavors. Avoid using crushed pineapple, as it can make the salsa too mushy.
    • Balance the Sweetness and Spice. Taste your fruit before mixing; if the peaches or pineapple are particularly sweet, you can reduce the jam slightly or increase the chili spread for a more balanced sweet-and-spicy flavor.
    • Use a Zester for Citrus Boost. For an extra burst of flavor, zest the lime before juicing it, and add a little of the zest (½ tsp) to the salsa. This enhances the citrusy brightness without adding more liquid.
    • Drain Canned Fruit Thoroughly. To avoid a watery salsa, drain canned peaches and pineapple completely. You can also pat the fruit dry with a paper towel before chopping.
    • Let the Salsa Rest. For the best flavor, let the salsa sit for at least 15-20 minutes after mixing. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully
NOTE: *I buy the Something Special Gourmet Red Chili dip/spread/marinade at Calgary Co op in the gourmet section (it's usually around the raincoast crisps) If you click the link, it will show you where to buy it.
