The bold spiciness of salsa, combined with the fruity flavors of fresh apricots.
By Abby Himes
Summer: the season of grilling, eating outside on patios, and watching the sun fade away into the refreshing night air. Apricots mark the beginning of summer with a growing season of May-August. Fresh apricots have a firm, not overly juicy, slightly tart, taste, which is so different from the dried version. It was the perfect addition to my summer time staple, salsa. I served it with chicken tacos with fresh local corn on the side, but all you really need is a bag of chips.

Feel free to adjust ingredient amounts to taste. (I love Cilantro so I added extra, same with the onion, and kept the jalapeno on the lighter side.) This is definitely a recipe that can be personalized.

I’m saving this for later and I’ll pick up apricots especially for it. Sounds super. Such fun flavor combos; thanks for sharing.
Thanks Sarah! I hope you like it :)
This is hands up one of the best salsas I’ve ever eaten, let alone made in less than 15 minutes. It’s great with chips, fish, chicken, on salads, and more. I added one extra apricot, an extra 1/2 tbsp. of cilantro, and an extra tsp. of jalapeno, then I skip the honey. Off to make this right now as a tostada topping for tonight.
Larra! You just made my day :) Thank you so much. I love how you made it yours, that’s the best thing about salsa…so easy to add a little here, take away a little there :)
can this be canned in mason jars?
My husband thinks this is the best salsa he has ever tasted. I made some substitutions based on what I had available. Sun Gold cherry tomatoes for the big tomato, red onion for the white, parsley for the cilantro, red pepper for the Jalapeno. Delicious.
