Variations and Recipe Ideas:
Cooking Tip
Tart Apples
Choose a nice tart apple, preferably locally grown or organic. The sugar in the apples will come out when mixed with the lime juice.
Cooking Tip
Jalapeno Chili Pepper
Adjust the amount of chili peppers added to the apple jalapeno salsa according to your taste and comfort with heat. For a hotter salsa try a serrano chili or add the seeds from the jalapeno to the salsa.
