Steps To Make Simple Summer Fruit Salsa
Fruit Salsa is a combination of diced fruits that pair well together. You want to start by dicing your apple and squeezing lemon juice over them to keep it from turning brown. Dice strawberries, kiwis, and cut raspberries in half. The raspberries will break apart more as you stir the fruit salsa together. Add fruit to a medium size mixing bowl, and add fruit preserve and sugar. Gently stir together, mixing all those wonderful sweet flavors together.
