Apple Salsa

6-8 Servings

A friend introduced me to this Apple Salsa years ago, and it remains my favorite salsa of all time. It's fresh, sweet, and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with sugar-cinnamon pita chips. This salsa features a delicious combination of simple flavors that leave a lasting impression.


What's in this salsa? It includes apples, carrots, celery, raisins, lemon juice, and apple jelly. However, apple jelly is not always available at my grocery store. If you can't find it, you can try looking for it online. If you're in a pinch, apricot preserves will work, or you can add agave to taste. Although the salsa won't have the same strong apple flavor, I guarantee it will still be very tasty!


I like to make jars of this salsa to give as gifts, and they are always appreciated. Many recipients are surprised by how much they enjoy this unassuming salsa.

Tips
  • The above is the original recipe. Depending on the size and type of apples used, you might need to adjust the amount of lemon juice and/or apple jelly to suit your taste. I usually use at least 4 tablespoons of each. 
  • I prefer not to microwave the fruit with the jelly and skip this step
  • The recipe states the salsa is good for up to 2 weeks, refrigerated, but I prefer to eat mine within a few days.
  • I use a food processor to dice the apples. Because of the small quantity of carrots and celery required, I prefer to dice them by hand.
