Strawberry Mango Salsa

The kids and I went berry picking at a U-pick earlier this week, and we came home with 5 large baskets of strawberries. I’ve cooked some jam, cooked some more jam, and some more jam (my kids love strawberry jam, what can I say?). I’ve also frozen some berries whole in glaze. My Mom does this trick. The packets of glaze that you can buy at the grocery store, the one you just mix with sugar and hot water, that’s the glaze that we use. It’s super easy, and when you defrost your berries in winter, they are like fresh, they don’t get all mushy like strawberries do when you just freeze them with sugar.

I’ve also started coming up with other ways to use strawberries, and this savoury salsa fit the bill perfectly! We enjoyed ours with tortilla chips when we had grilled burgers. It is best fresh, so I would only make it 30 minutes before serving it. This salsa would be perfect served on grilled fish or chicken as well.

How do you use up your bounty of fresh berries at this time of year?
