FRUIT SALSA
There are so many things I love about Disney World. We just got back from there and I’m on a Disney high! The highlight for me is always at night on Main Street watching the fireworks and eating Apple Pie Caramel apples.
We bought not ONE but TWO of them, at $8.95 a pop, just to make sure they tasted like the ones I make…and they do.
Here’s a refreshing fruit salsa that is perfect for BBQs, baby showers…you name it. I brought this to my friend’s baby shower and the hostess of the shower had made the exact same thing. What are the chances?
I guess it must be that good. She said it was a pampered chef recipe but I found mine on Allrecipes as one of their all-time highest ranked recipes.
You don’t have to put all of the sugar in depending on how sweet your fruit is.
If it’s in season you might not need all of it. These Cinnamon chips are so good with this BUT…I will say that in a pinch Stacy’s Cinnamon Pita Chips work dandy!!

Fruit Salsa
Fruit Salsa recipe is a sweet salsa made from diced fruit and served with cinnamon chips. This appetizer will be a hit at your baby shower or any get together.
Ingredients
- 2 kiwis, peeled and diced
- 2 Golden Delicious apples - peeled, cored and diced
- 8 ounces raspberries
- 1 (16 oz carton) of strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, (more or less to taste)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar, (more or less to taste)
- 3 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor (I used strawberry)
- 10 (10 inch) flour tortillas (or use Stacy's cinnamon chips or cinnamon graham crackers)
- melted butter or butter flavored cooking spray
Cinnamon sugar:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix kiwis, apples, raspberries, strawberries, white sugar, brown sugar and fruit preserves. Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes. This is best made the same day and not too far ahead of time so your apples don't start browning and the fruit gives off so too much juice and it gets runny.. This salsa can also be serve with cinnamon graham grackers or cinnamon pita chips. Best when made and eaten the same day otherwise the
- For the Cinnamon Chips:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Coat one side of each flour tortilla with melted butter or butter flavored cooking spray. Sprinkle tortillas with desired amount of cinnamon sugar. Cut into wedges and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Spray again with cooking spray (not necessary if using melted butter).
- Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla wedges. Allow to cool approximately 15 minutes. Serve with chilled fruit mixture.

Could you make the fruit the day before then add the sugar the next day you plan to serve?
Sure. I’ve just found cut fruit is best the day of.
This is sooo good. Makes a lot so I will cut it in half next time. The flavors blend together very well. I also serve it as a side dish or dessert. I didn’t have the raspberry jelly called for but I used a cherry / blueberry combo. Enjoyed it very much.
Thank you!
I used to make this all the time when my kids were younger. I would use cool whip (or make my own) as the “sour cream”. they loved it
It’s a good one!
Can you freeze or can this?
I wouldn’t!
Could I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas?
I think it might taste odd with corn tortillas.
Howlong does this last in the fridge??
It starts to get liquid after a day.
If I am making for 10 people should I double or triple the recipe?
I love the cinnamon chips, they turned out perfect, once I dressed the wrap I used a pizza cutter and placed the slices in cupcake paper cups, I didn’t do anything to the fruit mixture except cutting into tiny pieces….DELICIOUS
Awesome to hear!
I made this for a Bunco group…. we were not impressed….
Ooh I’m so sorry. Did you make chips or use Stacys? What did you not like?
Poppy Seed Fruit Salad This was a HUGE hit! Everyone loved it! I will definitely be making this again at home with my kids.
This is a great recipe !!! I saw it on Pintrest and decided to try it…. Score! I made this for a 4th of July cookout last year, we are going to the same cookout this year, they are asking me to bring this dish again. I guess they really enjoyed it. My question is I think 3 tablespoons of sugar is a lot . What do you think the least could be used but still have a good flavor?
If your fruit is ripe you don’t need any at all. Just add to taste. A tablespoon will do even.
Sounds so yummy! How many servings should it make?
Do you think I can replace the raspberries with blue berries or blackberries. At thelast minute I realized we ran out Of raspberries. No time to get more. I’m also using raspberry preserves
Yes, It’s totally adjustable.
Yum! I made my version without preserves but am going to try it with next time 🙂 how have I been missing homemade cinnamon chips all my life ?!

love this! i made it without kiwis, for expense-sake, and it was still fabulous. so it was just apples, strawberries, and raspberries. i food processed the apples and strawberries, but left the raspberries whole. also, i only added the jam and no sugar, and it was just right for me.
great recipe.
Just made this and all I can say is OH MY GOD I’m in heaven. It was meant for a party oops never made it there , so good with natural yogurt.
This looks great and thanks everybody for the tips. We are having super bowl party here tomorrow night and amidst all the guys’ super unhealthy heavy foods, I wanted to add a little something with some nutritional value. The men probably won’t touch it but that will suit the women just fine.
Haha. You might be right!
This is a wonderful recipe. My friend gave it to me a long time ago when she found it in the Pampered Chef book. As one poster said the only difference was the juice from one orange. Here is something many people may not know. The juice from an orange works just as well as the juice from a lemon for keeping fruit from browning. Actually many chefs prefer using the juice from an orange over using the juice from a lemon because of the tangy properties of the lemon. Me – I love and use the both. They both truly work equally well when it comes to keeping fruit from browning and the orange flavor gives it a really mild, nice taste. I would venture to guess this is one reason the Pampered Chef recipe had the juice from 1 orange in it – to keep the apples, etc., from browning as you would have absolutely no worries on this issue if the juice from an orange were used. Also, someone added pineapple to this – that sounds wonderful! So did using peach preserves. I have used apricot preserved and that is sooo good. I have also used orange marmalade and all I can say is WOW!!!! This recipe has never failed me no matter how I have changed it up, I even added coconut and bananas making it kinda an ambrosia like salsa. It is always, always delicious. I used to make my own cinnamon tortilla chips but found Stacy’s tortilla chips more time saving and quite frankly just as good as mine, but Stacy’s were more crisp and had the perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar on them so I started using Stacys.
Thank you for the recipe! I have made this several times and it is always a big hit. I don’t make the chips though, I just buy the Stacey’s cinnamon chips at the store.
I’ve started doing that too. Stacey’s chips are so good.
This looks amazing! What a perfect summer treat. I love using in season fruit!
Hi there – i wanted to make this for a party that is being held on a Saturday. I cannot make it to the party but I wanted to drop something off the thursday before. You mentioned it getting runny if not eaten the same day – do you have any tips or suggestions for making this ahead of time? Like would it work if I diced up all the fruit and put just that with some lime juice in a container and keep the sugar seperate until the day of? OR should I dice the fruit and put them in zip lock baggies with water?? Help!
I would keep the sugar separate until the day of since that makes the fruit runny…
Made this today for a Memorial Day cookout and it’s sooo delish!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

You’re welcome!
This is an awesome recipe. I’ve made it a few times now and never disappointed. I don’t find the apples brown and I don’t find the chips soften, even after a couple days. Everyone loves this recipe. I have wondered what other flavours would be good as I would have liked to try peach. I see pineapple was used with a peach preserve. I must give that a try. I’ve only used white tortillas and stacked them and cut with a pizza cutter. The chips are so easy to make, the time consuming part is baking them and cutting up all the fruit. Can’t wait to make it again.
