Pineapple Salsa

Great for picnics and outdoor barbeques, Pineapple Salsa is a nice alternative to the regular tomato based salsa. It's sweet with some heat. Best of all, you make it yourself so you can control just how spicy it's going to be.

This recipe is better when using fresh pineapple. The canned type will be too sweet and the texture is too soft, which will result in a mushy salsa. Most super markets sell pineapple peeled and ready to use. If you don't want to mess around with chopping your own jalapeños, you can find them chopped and diced in bottles. They are usually found in the pickle area.

We found that chopping the ingredients first, before putting them in the blender or food processor helps to keep the salsa from being liquefied. Another idea, is to process the salsa in two different batches. This will also prevent it from turning into a liquid.
