Fruit Salsa and Cinnamon Chips

Hooray September is almost here and I will start cooking real food again. I can't wait for baking season to start. For now, though, I will enjoy the end of summer and all the fresh food that goes along with it. This recipe is an old Pampered Chef recipe. It is a great summertime recipe and actually works okay anytime of year. I have tried it with frozen strawberries and it worked just fine.


Fruit Salsa

2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
1 cup strawberries, hulled and chopped
1 kiwi, peeled and chopped
1 small orange
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp apple jelly

Mix together chopped apples, strawberries, and kiwi. Zest (hopefully you have a microplane as this makes it so much easier) and juice entire orange and add both orange juice and set to fruit. Stir in brown sugar and apple jelly to fruit mixture. Chill.

Cinnamon Chips

1 pkg. flour tortillas
water
cinnamon/sugar mixture

Cut tortillas into triangle shaped wedges and spread in one layer on a cookie sheet (you will need more than one cookie sheet or to do this more than one time). Spray with water from a clean water bottle or use a pastry brush to spread a thin layer of water over the tortillas. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Place in a 475 degree oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cinnamon mixture melts and the chip edges begin to turn a light brown.
