This is some pretty sweet salsa with a KICK! Dare to try something new, fresh and healthy. My blackberry-jalapeno salsa will make you rethink the potential of a handful of berries!
For a small batch that serves about two people, you will need:
1/4 cup jalapenos, chopped (about 2 medium peppers)
1/3 cup blackberries, chopped
1 1/2 cups tomatoes, chopped (about two medium tomatoes)
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
3 tsp sugar
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp coarse black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1. Chop the blackberries and mix them well with the sugar in a pot.
2. While the berries and sugar set, chop the remaining veggies and add them to the pot.
3. Stir in the seasonings well and put the pot on the stovetop on high heat.
4. Bring to a boil for only a minute or two, stirring the whole time.
5. Turn the heat to low and give it another few minutes, no more than about 5. Stir well.
6. After it has cooled enough, put it into an airtight container and into the fridge to set for a few hours.
(I did try my salsa after it cooled, then tried it again after it was allowed to set overnight. It tasted better after setting and letting the different flavors meld together)
7. ENJOY!
**If you don't want it as spicy, you can substitute another pepper for one of the jalapenos, or be sure to remove the seeds from the jalapenos to remove some of the heat**
