Dessert #2: Fresh Fruit Salsa

Although the summer's end is fast approaching, fresh produce is still great and this recipe is will make everyone happy from kids to adults. The flexibility of ingredients can accommodate fruit allergies and dietary needs.

Ingredients:

Lots of fruit, any or all of the following: pineapple, peach, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, mango, kiwi, apple, etc.
1/2 jar of seedless raspberry jam (sugar-free if you choose)
1/4-1/2 cup sugar (splenda if you choose)
 Cinnamon and sugar pita chips (store bought or homemade)

Dice your fruit into small pieces (you will want to fit a few pieces on a chip). In a large bowl, toss fruit with the sugar. This helps the fruit to release its juices. Stir jam into fruit mixture. Let sit for at least 2-3 hours on the counter before serving, the longer the better. You may want to chill before serving but its personal preference.

I used to always make homemade chips using flour tortillas. However, Stacey's pita chips come in a cinnamon and sugar variety which works well. You can also buy Stacey's naked chips, spray them with cooking spray and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. If you prefer to make your own, cut flour tortillas into small triangles. Place them on a cookie sheet, coat lightly with cooking spray, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown about 5-7 minutes. Enjoy!
