This is the first salsa we ever made and back when we introduced it Agriculture Canada had a bit of a hard time with the name. To them “salsa” is made with tomatoes and, you guessed it, there is not a single tomato in this recipe. Locally grown pears combine with red, green and jalapeno peppers give this salsa a burn. Fruit based salsas are becoming more and more common, and we make a variety of tomato-less salsas.
