Fruit-Flavored Crack

My sister-in-law has started a few trends in my family. One of her first was when she introduced us to the game of Nertz. One of her latest is this Apple Berry Salsa with Toasted Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla chips.

It is insanely good, and highly addictive. It's like fruit-flavored crack. This past weekend, my mom made a batch to share at the family get-together to celebrate my cousin's 19th birthday.

We all played the role of "quality control" after Mom finished the snack, and I'm surprised we had any left for the party. Since it's made from fruit, you can eat as much as you want, right?

On Wednesday evening, I'm going with some friends to enjoy an evening of music at the Carleen Bright Arboretum in Woodway. Since it's outdoors, I thought that this snack would be a welcome addition to the heat, music, fresh air, and heat. In the process of making it tonight, I think I ate a whole tortilla's worth of the chips and a similar amount of the salsa. My mouth is watering just typing about it..... I need to go make sure it's still tasty......

Before I go all Cookie Monster on some Apple Berry Salsa, here is the recipe:
