Apricot Salsa

As summer officially comes to an end. I can’t help but post another salsa recipe. I am still getting delicious apricots- somehow they have lasted quite long this year. Usually they are gone by end of July. Anyway, I had a big pack of them and decided to turn the fruit into a delicious chunky sauce.

I used what I had in the fridge… that is what I like about making salsas- there are no rules. You can add whatever you want. I happen to have green onions on hand and I always have cilantro. I chopped everything and added the usual lime juice. I also added smoked paprika. To make it sweet, I usually add honey. This time I decided to use agave. I recently bought a bottle of it and have started experimenting. It is a great substitute for sugar and has a very low glycemic index. I even tried duffins with agave and they were a big hit.

Try this salsa….. it is delicious.

• 5 to 6 apricots, chopped
• 4 to 5 green onions, chopped
• ½ cup cilantro, chopped
• Juice of one to two limes
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon agave

Place the apricots, green onions and cilantro into a medium bowl. Mix well and add the lime juice, smoked paprika, salt and agave. Mix well and let it sit for an hour before serving with tortilla chips or over fish or grilled meat.
