    This recipe comes from one of my favorite blogs [La Pina en la Cocina](https://pinaenlacocina.com/salsas-cooked-dry-roasted-and-fresh/) . I’m not normally a big fruit guy but since this one looked unique I figured I’d try it.

    **INGREDIENTS:**

    1/2 cup diced red onion

    1 whole red bell pepper diced

    2 habaneros diced

    1 TBSP neutral veg oil

    2 cups diced fresh pineapple (no juice)

    3 TBSP lemon juice

    1/4 cup vinegar

    1.5 tsp sea salt

    pinch of black pepper

    ​

    **PROCEDURE:**

    In a pot on high heat sauté the onion, bell pepper, and habanero in oil for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

    Then add pineapple, lemon juice, salt, and vinegar. Cover and simmer on low for 5 more minutes.

    Remove from heat, remove lid, and allow to cool.

    Yields 2.5 cups.

    ​

    **THOUGHTS:**

    This salsa is strange, the pineapple is quite sweet, plus you have the savory from the red bell pepper, contrasted with the vinegar “bite”. It’s a strange contrast of flavors an I’m not loving it. But I’m also not usually a fan of fruit salsas.
