Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Fruit salsa ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup white peaches or nectarines finely diced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
  • 1 cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers for serving

Method
 

Make the salsa
  1. Dice the strawberries and peaches into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium bowl with the blueberries.
  2. Add the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and chopped mint, then stir gently to combine without mashing the fruit.
Chill
  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the juices to release, checking visually once or twice for a glossy coating.
Serve
  1. Stir once more before serving so the syrup redistributes evenly across the fruit.
  2. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with cinnamon sugar chips, with the fruit clearly showing red, white, and blue colors.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the diced fruit pieces small and similar in size so every bite has a balanced mix. Refrigerate covered up to 2 days; stir before serving to refresh the syrupy coating. Freezing is not recommended since the berries and peaches will soften. If you want a lighter option, replace honey with maple syrup for a similar sweetness with a slightly different flavor.
