A few weeks ago we went to a dinner for hub’s cousin who is getting married in a few weeks. Her Grandmother, Hub’s Aunt Mary made all the food. Aunt Mary did pulled pork and Mango Chutney (kinda more like a salsa to me, probably why i liked it!) that was just terrific!

place all ingredients in sauce pan, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 mins. Cool completely and serve. I cut the recipe way down and only used 1 mango since it was just for us. It was yummy!!

For our Memorial Day Cookout and Pool Party I thought I would do a bunch of different salsas and lots of fun chips to have out all afternoon while we swim & smoke the pig! I found some great salsas that I thought I would try from some of my favorite Foodie Friends!!Here is what I did.

Watermelon Salsa
2 cups diced watermelon
1 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup diced red onion
sea salt & pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 oz feta cheese
I make a wonderful salad that uses many of the above ingredients and thought that the salt of the feta and the twang of the balsamic really pushed this over the top!!

2 mangos, diced
1/2 pineapple, diced
1 jalapeño, diced super fine
1/2 red onion
1 T fresh cilantro
2 T fresh lime juice
1 T lime zest
sea salt
The Mango/pineapple Salsa was by far the least eaten, it was good I am not a cilantro fan but those who are enjoyed it, those who are not didn’t! It would be really good with fish.
