By , About.com Guide

This recipe was inspired by several different cookbooks. It combines some of my favorite winter fruits for a fabulous salsa. Try serving the salsa recipe with sandwiches and other meats too.

  • 1/2 cup chopped peeled mango
  • 1 orange, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 pear or apple, unpeeled, chopped
  • 8 oz. can pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 2 Tbsp. apple jelly
  • 1 Tbsp. minced seeded jalapeno pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
