Salsa de Frutas Recipe

Salsa de Frutas

by Nona Lema

Salsa de Frutas is a simple fruit topping served on top of ice cream, cake, flan, pudding or as filling to rolls or even 'palaman' (spread) to your hot pan de sal or any kind of bread. Salsa de Frutas is not as sweet as a fruit jam, just sweet and chewy enough to enjoy that natural fruity flavor.

 

• 2-3 cups of any fresh fruit such as mango, melon, strawberry, etc
• ¼ cup sugar

1. Finely chop, mash or shred your choice of fruit.

2. In a pan combine fruit and sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow to cool.

3. Serve on top of vanilla ice cream, or any of your favorite cake, flan or pudding.

 
Fruits are nature's fast food. They contains lots of water, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. The carbohydrate in fruits is mainly in the form of fruit sugar (fructose). It doesn't upset the body's blood sugar levels or cause the body to store more fat as refined sugars do. That's because of the way fruit sugar enters the bloodstream and the healthy presence of dietary fiber.
