Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum Caribbean Salsa

Awesome fruit salsa recipe. I totally cheated and used canned fruit as good, fresh fruit isn't always available this time of year. I felt like just a little something was lacking, so I added 1 seeded and diced jalapeno, a tablespoon or so of vinegar to give it a little punch, and a teaspoon of cumin and cayenne pepper. I was skeptical about the rum (had a bad run-in with the Captain back in college), but it actually complements the flavor of the salsa nicely. Thanks for sharing! A nice complement to Simple Caribbean Jerk Chicken.

Super, everyone loved it and we had never had a fruit salsa before. Made it for a caribbean dinner with "simple Jerk Chicken" (not sure of the recipe number), "classic black beans and rice" and fruit kaboobs with cool whip for dessert along with a punch, a very caribbean theme. added 1 hot pepper diced small to the mix and the heat wasn't much, just mild even the kids ate it

Had this with dinner and DH loved it, by itself and in the Reggae Wraps. I did not have any rum so used rum extract. Also, did not use any salt. I used only 1/2 a papaya and that was bordering on too much. I think the papaya measurement should be given in cups or weight as sizes of papaya vary greatly. This might also benefit from being strained before serving. We tried this on tortilla chips but didn't think it worked as a combination since the chips are too salty for this cool, refreshing salsa. Better to eat by itself or over chicken, etc.

We really liked this salsa. I prepared it and put it in the fridge for two days in a glass jar. The flavors blended well together and it was very refreshing. And, since there were no hot peppers the 4 year old loved it! He ate it with chips and on chicken! High compliment since he usually pushes toppings aside! The adults liked it because it tempered the heat of the spicy chicken! Thank you! Good Luck Chef!
