Tomorrow is the 4th of July! I can’t believe it. This summer is flying by! Are you ready? I’m still working on it. I’ve got a great recipe to share with you today and you can make it today to enjoy tomorrow! It’s my Summer Berry Salsa. It’s a great addition to your July 4th spread because it’s colorful and very versatile.
Summer Berry Salsa
Ingredients:
1 dry pint blueberries
1 6 oz container raspberries
1 pound strawberries
1 lime
2-3 Tbsp sweetener (sugar, honey, agave nectar) – optional
Directions:
1. Rinse all your fruit (even your lime!)
2. Chop up your strawberries into bite sized pieces (I had 3.5 cups when finished)
3. Slice your raspberries in half to make bite sized pieces and remove any mushy/moldy ones (I had1.5 cups when finished)
4. Make sure all your blueberries are stem free and remove any mushy/moldy ones (I had 2 cups when finished)
5. Place all your prepared berries in a large bowl. Add the zest and juice of one lime.
6. Add your sweetener (I used turbinado sugar)
7. Stir your berries/lime/sugar mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for the flavors to blend. (I refrigerated mine overnight)
8. See how gorgeous your salsa is once the flavors blend? Also, by adding the few tablespoons of sugar, you get this nice berry juice. You can use your salsa in so many ways.
