• Assorted fruit, may include, but not limited to: peaches, plums, apples, mango, grapes, strawberries, etc.
• Fresh minced garlic
• Red onions
• Honey Balsamic Vinegar
• Fresh herbs, Basil, Parsley, Oregano, etc.

Instructions

I like to start out by cutting the fruit and onions to approx. 1/4 inch dice. In a microwaveable bowl, toss fruit, onions and garlic. Here is where your personal taste comes in. The idea is to balance the sweetness of the honey against the tartness of the vinegar. I find for my personal taste, a 4:1 ratio, honey to balsamic works. Blend all ingredients together. WAIT!!!! Glenn, you didn't tell us the amounts. That's right, my little Chefs in training, you decide. Maybe you like extra peach, or a little more tart. The choice is yours. The consistency should be that of a salsa or relish. The next step is to place the bowl in your microwave and microwave on high for about 3 minutes. This short cooking process helps soften the fruit and blend the flavors together. Add your fresh herbs and refrigerate until cold, usually about 4-5 hours. This recipe can be made up to 2 days ahead. Enjoy!!!
