When someone asks me what I love about summer, well the sweltering heat is definitely not the answer, but my absolute answer to what I love about summer is the beautiful fresh produce that I get to cook and enjoy.

Although I’m always happy for a bit of cooler weather, I’m sad to see the abundance of summer seasonal fruit and veggies go. Thankfully, I get to extend the summer produce through preserving, and this pineapple papaya salsa is on my list of must preserve.

This pineapple salsa with papaya and that brilliant kick of chili, is not just for dipping tortilla chips in, not a bad idea though! This salsa recipe is gorgeous served with your favorite tacos, over grilled chicken, as a marinade, and my personal favorite, topping off a pizza filled with grilled chicken, feta or blue cheese, spring onions, fresh jalapeno slices, and plenty of this tasty spicy sweet salsa!
