Recipe By Mike Johnston, Savory Spice founder

This salsa is perfect for summer but can also be enjoyed in the middle of winter if you use canned pears and pineapple instead of fresh.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with chips or as a topping for fish, pork or chicken.

Recipe Notes

*Instead of 6 fresh pears, you can use 2 (15 oz.) cans of halved pears, drained. Instead of 1/4 fresh pineapple, you can use 1 (15 oz.) can pineapple slices, drained.

Ingredients

6 ripe pears, peeled, cut into halves and seeded*

1/4 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and sliced*

1 cup small diced red or green bell peppers (or a mix of both)

6 Tbsp. lime juice

Directions

Step 1: Broil fruit

Preheat broiler. Place pears and pineapple on a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil for 4 to 5 min. per side then set aside to cool.

Step 2: Combine peppers and chiles

In a large bowl, combine bell peppers, lime juice and La Plata Peak Adobo Spice. Mince chipotle chiles from adobo sauce and add both chiles and sauce to bowl. (For more heat, use a 1/2 can of chipotle in adobo; to ease up a bit, use 1/4 can.) Add remaining ingredients and stir lightly.

Step 3: Finish and serve

Coarsely dice roasted pears and pineapple and gently fold into salsa. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
