MizzNezz, I found myself – MUCH to my surprise – making your salsa tonight to go with the lamb chops I had been planning to make. The result of a tag in the 2005 Strawberry Swap! Not at all how I would have anticipated ever serving chops! In order to give full honours to the strawberries, I doubled the strawberries and omitted the blueberries. I reduced the amount of sugar by half and used brown sugar: I didn’t feel the need for much sweetening and I try to keep my sugar intake to a minimum. I also omitted the hot pepper sauce because I don’t like spiciness. And I probably nearly doubled the amount of onions. And having NEVER made or eaten a salsa even remotely like this one, I simply grilled the chops, which I served with a simple potato salad. I didn’t want anything to detract from what had become the star of the show: your salsa! Then I waited for the comments from the family members I’d served this meal to. Everyone was a bit surprised to say the least. This salsa had them all way outside the zones of what they were familiar with but even my grumpy, octogenarian plus and often really hard to please father (I left the almonds off his!) liked this salsa. It was a real winner! I think it would be even better with grilled chicken. Thank you for a most unusual and really delicious recipe, MizzNezz, and thank you for the tag, toni!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
