(My favorite) Mango Salsa

 This is my favorite Mango Salsa recipe. I think I like it so much because of the sweetness brought to it by the jalapeno jelly. I always have some in my pantry because I make my own with left over jalapenos from my garden each summer. If you don't have any on hand, I recommend buying some. It really "makes" this salsa.

ENJOY!

Mango Salsa

4-5 ripe Roma tomatoes

1/2 medium red onion

1 large ripe mango

2 TBSP. cilantro

1 tsp. minced garlic

3 TBSP. jalapeno jelly (warm in the microwave for few seconds to soften)

juice from half a lime

salt and pepper to taste

Chop all ingredients together and enjoy with chips.

I clipped this recipe from my Reader's Digest almost two years ago. It's been patiently "sitting" in my recipe book waiting to be used. And this week it will finally make its debut on my kitchen table.I can't wait to try it. Join me, won't you?

  P.S. If someone gets this made before I do, let me know how it is and take a picture. This post feels sad without one!
