Apricot Salsa

Apricot salsa inspired by a recipe from the web. In my take I mixed:

• 2/3 cup diced fresh apricots
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 1/8 tsp Duke's powder II
• 1/2 a roasted red pepper
• 2 roma tomatoes from a can, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh apricot-pineapple butter

I made up half of it fresh and cooked the other half. 

We'll do a tasting soon and I'll update this.
Fortunately Sharon had just made some nice Apricot-Pineapple Jam.

Update: the results of the tasting are in:

• The uncooked salsa tasted very strongly of onion. Certainly had a "fresh" taste. Might be good for some application where you really want a "pop" of flavor, but be careful not to use too much. 
• The cooked salsa was mild and flavorful. Not too sweet. Sharon thought it didn't taste enough of fruit. 
• As a baseline we tasted some Trader Joe's Peach Salsa. Definitely had more "heat" from chillies. Also a little sweeter. 

Next Time: 

Looking at the ingredients for the TJ's Peach Salsa we might consider adding some: tomato paste, salt, spices, and/or sugar.
