Autumn Fruit Salsa
Ingredients
- 4-6 peaches, plums, apricots (any stone fruit that is in season)
- 1 lb strawberries fresh
- 4 large honeycrisp or pink lady apples
- 12 oz slivered almonds
- 2 Tbsp honey or agave nectar
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Chop all fruit into bite-sized pieces and pour it into a large bowl. Add in the slivered almonds, honey (or agave nectar for vegans and diabetics), cinnamon and a pinch of salt, mix until combined. If you are doing Whole 30 then omit the honey/agave nectar. Agave nectar is diabetic approved because it is an all-natural sweetener that does not raise the individual’s glucose levels. While stevia and other powdered sweeteners have been known to keep glucose levels low, they are not all-natural and some, like Splenda, have aspartame. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to a couple of days. Just like any fruit that has been mixed with any sweetener-sugar, honey, agave nectar, Stevia, Splenda…the sweetener causes the fruit to begin to excrete their juices, so the longer the fruit sits in the sweetener, the more extra juice you will have at the bottom of the bowl.
