Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons sugar
  2. 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  3. Five 10-inch flour tortillas
  4. Cooking spray
  5. 2 Granny Smith apples, grated
  6. 1 Bartlett pear, small-diced
  7. Juice of 1 lime
  8. 3 tablespoons mint preserves
  9. 8 ounces strawberries, chopped
  10. 4 ounces raspberries, chopped
  11. 1 ounce bourbon
  12. 2 sprigs fresh mint, chiffonade

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Combine the sugar and cardamom in a small bowl. Spray the tops of the tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with the cardamom sugar. Cut each tortilla into 10 to 12 wedges and place on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake until crispy and golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, make the salsa by combining the apples, pear, lime juice and preserves in a medium bowl. Fold in the strawberries, raspberries and bourbon. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for an hour to allow all the flavors to marry.
  4. Before serving, garnish the salsa with the mint. Serve with the tortilla chips.

I served this when I made the Pork Wings and it’s a perfect combination.  I’ll replace the standard apple sauce when pork is on my menu.  I will substitute the bourbon with cold pressed apple juice and a splash of Balsamic vinegar if children are eating.
