Southern Apple Salsa
When the crisp sweetness of fresh apples meets the bold flavors of traditional salsa, something magical happens. This Southern Apple Salsa brings together the best of both worlds – combining tangy tomatoes, crisp apples, and aromatic spices into a versatile condiment that's equally perfect at a summer BBQ or fall gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 28 oz can of whole peeled tomatoes drained or use freshly chopped Roma tomatoes
- 2 big apples diced
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 jalapeño diced
- 1/4 red bell pepper chopped
- 1/4 green bell pepper chopped
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp pickling spices
Instructions
- Drain the can of whole peeled tomatoes and give them a rough chop if you prefer.
- In a large pot, combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 45-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and the salsa thickens.
- Use an immersion blender to blend to your desired consistency. I prefer a chunky texture.
- Once the salsa has cooled slightly, transfer it to a serving bowl. Serve warm or refrigerate for a few hours to chill and let the flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips, on grilled meats, or on tacos!
