Salsa Sauce
2 oranges (juiced, with or w/out
pulp)
1 T brown sugar
1 T Jelly (your choice)
Salsa
2 sweet apples, peeled and cored
(Pacific Lady, Pink Lady, Braeburn...)
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and
cored
1 kiwi (peeled)
2 pounds of fresh strawberries
(hulled)
Cinnamon Chips
soft, flour tortillas (I use
medium-sized with about 12 / package)
cinnamon
sugar
1. In the bowl that you intend to use
for mixing the salsa, mix "salsa sauce" ingredients together until brown sugar
and jelly dissolve in orange juice.
2. Chop salsa ingredients to the texture
that you prefer. As you chop, put fruit into salsa mixing bowl and toss with
orange juice mixture from time to time. (This keeps the apples crisp and
prevents them from browning so quickly.) When finished adding all of the fruit,
mix the salsa until the fruit is well covered with sauce. Chill for a couple of
hours at least.
3. I really like these "homemade" chips,
but Stacey's cinnamon pita chips are a good substitution if you don't want to
bother.
-
Preheat oven to 350
degrees.
-
Line cookie sheets with
aluminum foil!!! You will need a new piece of foil after each batch
that you bake.
-
Mix cinnamon and sugar to your taste
so that you have about 1 1/2 cups of the mix.
-
With kitchen shears, cut tortillas
into about 12 wedges, then spread them out onto foil-lined sheets without
overlapping them.
-
Lightly
sprinkle chips with water. Then, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar
mix.
-
Bake chips at 350 degrees for about
5 minutes then turn the tray in the oven and bake for about 3 to 5 more minutes.
You have to watch them carefully. You only want to let the edges get
golden brown. Once they start browning, they can quickly burn. (I often take the
browned ones off to cool and then stick the "unbrowned" ones back
in.)
-
The cinnamon and sugar actually
crystalize on top of the chips. If this hasn't happened, they aren't
done.
-
Remove the entire sheet of foil and
allow the batch to cool, then store them. If the chips are done, they will
easily "peel" off of the foil. If not, you can stick the undone
tortillas back in the oven to bake a little
longer.
