Simply Southern

OK, So, like most Southern Women, I absolutely love getting my Southern Living magazine in the mail every month... Well actually, it goes to my Mama's house and I get it a few weeks later after she has read through it (but I don't mind). With it being Summer and all the fruits & vegetables are ripe for the pickin', I couldn't resist making this recipe that was in this month's magazine (along with several others)
BLUEBERRY SALSA


Start off with 2 cups coarsely chopped blueberries & 1 cup fresh whole blueberries...


Add 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 TBSP chopped fresh cilantro, and seeded and minced jalapeno peppers (be careful~ your hands will start burning)...


Add in 1/3 cup red bell pepper and 1/2 tsp kosher salt...



And here's your finished product... You can either serve immediately or chill for 8 hours or more. I put mine in these decorative jars... Trust me, the longer it sits the better it tastes. I served mine with baked flour tortilla chips (we are trying to watch what we eat since one of us can't gain but another 8 - 18 pounds until September)

I hope you take the time to try this...
This was one receipe that my sister-in-law wanted me to try to make, so I did... I figured that if it looked good enough, I'd share it with people... It's not a copy cat of anything else... there's nothing else like it!
