Reasons to Scoop It Up

  • Flavor Explosion: A juicy mix of sweet, tangy, and tropical in every bite.
  • Versatile: Our favorite way to enjoy fruit salsa is with my cinnamon chips, but tortilla chips also work! You can also serve it over vanilla ice cream, pancakes, crepes, or topped with fresh whipped cream.
  • Crowd Charmer: Bright colors + bold flavors = guaranteed compliments.

Fruit Salsa Ingredients

Overhead shot of labeled ingredients.
  • Apple: The apple adds a crispy texture in every bite! Use your favorite kind of apple.
  • Lime: The squeeze of lime helps keep the apple from browning. Substitute with lemon juice if you prefer.
  • Fruit Preserves: I LOVE the addition of the raspberry flavor in this salsa, but you can use any flavor preserves you like! Try strawberry, apricot, or orange marmalade.
  • Fruit: If you want, you can try switching up the fruit by using pears, peaches, or blueberries. But, avoid using fruit that gets mushy, like bananas and fresh raspberries.
  • Add Herbs: You can add fresh herbs like mint and basil to give the salsa depth in flavor. It’s also pretty for garnish!

How to Make Fruit Salsa

This fruit salsa recipe comes together in just minutes. Once youโ€™ve got your fruit prepped, itโ€™s as easy as toss, chill, and serve. Trust me, the hardest part is not eating it all straight from the bowl!

  1. Add Lime Juice: Squeeze the juice of a limeย over the diced apple then stir to coat.
  2. Combine Fruit: To a large bowl, combineย the strawberries,ย kiwis,ย apples, and mangoes.
  3. Raspberry Jam: Add raspberry jam to the fruit.
  4. Stir and Serve: Gently stir to combine and serve withย cinnamon chipsย and enjoy!

Alyssa’s Pro Tip

Cutting the Fruit: The trick to perfect fruit salsa is to dice the fruit! You want small and uniform bite-size pieces.

How to Store Fruit Salsa

  • In the Refrigerator: Store fruit salsa in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. Give it a stir before you serve it again.
  • Make in Advance: Fruit salsa is great to make ahead for your guests. I think it’s even better the next day because the juices from the fruit get sweeter as it sits!
  • In the Freezer: Do not freeze fresh fruit salsa! If you do, the fruit will thaw into a watery, mushy texture.
