For those of you who attended the Savor & Sample Festival we hosted a few Sunday’s ago you may have been lucky enough to try out Diane's ‘Fresh Apple Salsa’. 

Here is the recipe for those who missed or for those who just thinks it sounds delicious (which it is…)

Fresh Apple Salsa

• 6 apples, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 small onion, chopped
• 1 mild chili pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
• 3 T lime juice
• 1 T cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 t salt

Combine all ingredients.  Serve with tortilla chips.

Did you know?   Some apple varieties don’t brown after you slice them like the Ginger Gold, Cortland, and Cameo.

I looked out the window the other day and saw these two cuties, Jackson & Maiya, enjoying their caramel apple.  I asked their parents if I could take some pictures and they agreed.  How great are these!? To see the other shots I got of Jackson and Maiya click HERE!

I’ve been meaning to blog about some of the fantastic food you all were able to try at Savor and Sample two Sunday’s ago but it just hadn’t happened yet.  Today I am going to share my Uncle Chuck’s Booyah Recipe which he gave me verbal permission to share.
