Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 lime, juiced
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can peaches
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons coconut, grated

Steps:

Saute onion until opaque.
Add garlic and saute lightly.
Add remaining ingredients and heat thoroughly.

Tips:

Use quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, cilantro, and onions will give your salsa the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
Don't over-blend: Salsa should have a chunky texture. If you blend it too much, it will become too smooth and lose its flavor.
Taste as you go: Add salt, lime juice, and chili powder to taste. Everyone's preferences are different, so adjust the seasonings until you find a flavor that you love.
Chill before serving: Salsa is best served cold. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite toppings: Salsa is great on its own, but it's also delicious with toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Salsa is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's great on tacos, burritos, and nachos. It can also be used as a dip for chips, vegetables, or crackers. No matter how you choose to serve it, salsa is sure to be a hit.
