Ingredients
  

Fruit and syrup
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup white peaches or nectarines finely diced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
For serving
  • 1 Cinnamon sugar pita chips or graham crackers for serving

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep and combine
  1. Dice the strawberries and peaches into small, uniform pieces and place them in a medium bowl with the blueberries.
  2. Add the honey, lime juice, lime zest, and fresh mint, then stir gently to combine without mashing the fruit.
Chill to meld flavors
  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the juices to release.
Serve
  1. Stir once more before serving, then transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve with cinnamon sugar chips.

Notes

Pro tip: use a sharp knife and keep the fruit pieces similar in size for a neat, spoonable texture. Refrigerate in a covered container up to 2 days; stir again before serving. Freezing is not recommended because the berries and peaches lose their texture. For a lower-sugar option, swap honey for a comparable amount of honey alternative or use a reduced-sugar sweetener, then taste and adjust lime.
