16 Reviews of Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum Caribbean Salsa

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!

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.

Great salsa! It's refreshing with a nice tropical flair. I used sweet onion and went a little heavier on the cilantro. I served it over broiled fish, but this would go well w/ chicken and pork, too. I will make this again. Thanx for sharing.

Wow, this salsa is excellant. We all enjoyed it very much. I served it with grilled chicken thighs, pork tenderloin and rice. Easy to make, with wonderful flavour and textures. I will certainly be making this again and again. Tastes even better the next day. Thank you so much for sharing your creation with us.

ok I am not as think as you drunk I am. lol This was pretty good but a little 'wet' for my taste-- the coconut also was a little strange to me. Great creation for RSC. GL!

With mangoes and papaya in season and just so delicious right now, I just had to make this recipe. It sounded superb - and I was delighted by just how totally delicious it was. It looks superb too. Loved the orange and lime juice: they were the perfect complement to the rum. I've saved this in my Summer Favourites cookbook. Thank you for this wonderful creation!

This Fruit Salsa is such a great change! Loved the combination of the fruits and spices! Was hoping to have some leftover, but, our dinner guests took the lefover home with them! (No, we didn't finish the bottle of Rum..I hid it in the cupboard!) Thanks for a great addition to our table!

This salsa was very good but we found it to be almost dessert sweet. Tried it on chicken, and on breakfast eggs but it just didn't fit. We ended up using it for a topping for icecream and it was delicious, also used it as a topper for rice pudding. Good Luck in the contest.
