Another Fruitcake Salsa!

Dr. Cohen sent me a link to a blogger who was discussing a recipe for kumquat salsa. The picture was very pretty. It made me want to try it. This recipe was very different however. If I saw it on it's own I would probably not classify it as a salsa. When I think salsa I typically think of a tomato base. This one used only kumquats, onions, and that magic food, CILANTRO! I don't think that I've ever actually tasted a kumquat. The post describes it as a citrus fruit similar to an orange but not much larger than a grape. Based on that description I would probably love them. But then we are back to my previous post about fruity salsas. I tend not to be a fan. I've only ever tried them though with a tortilla chip. The recipe mentions using it as a topper for fish and steaks. That seems interesting to me. I would never think to put salsa on fish. Perhaps it was just the saltiness of the chip in combination with the sweet fruit that I disliked. I may have to give fruity salsas another chance! If anyone is ambitious out there and has a few spare kumquats lying around why not whip up a tasty snack this weeked? This website also had a few other fruit based salsas listed. There was a kiwi salsa that included avocado and pomegrante seeds....hmmm i'm not sure what you would eat that with... A recipe for cranberry salsa was also listed. This one had cranberries, of course, along with apple and jalepenos. Where do these people come up with these things?
