I saw this recipe on spendwithpennies.com and adapted it to make a smaller amount and to use almost any kind of fresh fruit. The fruit should be diced into ½-inch cubes to make it easy to scoop up with the delicious cinnamon crisps. A lovely, summertime, light dessert.
YOUR CHOICE FRUIT SALSA AND CRISPS
Cinnamon Crisps:
4 10-inch flour tortillas
Cooking spray
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Fruit Salsa:
4 cups of assorted fruit cut into ½ inch cubes (strawberries, blueberries, apple, pineapple, banana, peach, kiwi, etc.) – your choice
1 Tblsp. lemon juice
1 Tblsp. fruit preserves or jam (I used my homemade blueberry jam)
To make cinnamon crisps:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
Combine cinnamon and sugar
Spray each tortilla on top with cooking spray and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar.
Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges and place on baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes until light brown and crisp (watch carefully so the wedges don’t burn).
To make the salsa:
Combine the prepared fruit with the lemon juice and preserves/jam, tossing lightly.
Allow to come to room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.
To serve:
Divide fruit salsa among four small dessert dishes and serve 6 cinnamon crisps with each dish.
I love fresh fruit salad but I’ve never made Salsa – I’m going to do it. I just got some tortillas at the store and I’m also going to make a few of these cinnamon sugar crisps. Love it all!
I love the combination of flavors in the fruit salsa, – and the Cinnamon Crisps sound delicious too!
That looks great. It isn’t too high in carbs and sugar, but naturally sweet and wonderful. One of my favorite tomato salsas that I canned was one I added peaches and pineapple to, along with banana peppers. It was so yummy all together.
This is a brilliant idea! I think that the Little Man would love these. Will have to give them a go. 😊
Love this recipe, especially now that all the fruits are at their peak!
Thkans for taking the time to post. It’s lifted the level of debate
I was thinking that perhaps if I spent less time going out that perhaps I could turn out quality posts like yours. Then it dawned on me that that simply isn’t necessary. Why should I expend energy writing when I can simply borrow from your posts?
Thank you for the nice words. I don’t mind if you borrow, but wouldn’t it be wonderful to put your own words, thoughts and ideas online?
