Recipe: Peppered Blueberry Dessert Salsa

PEPPERED BLUEBERRY DESSERT SALSA

4 cups ripe fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups diced mixed fruit such as cantaloupe, apple, pineapple, kiwi and-or mango
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 2/3 to 2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt

In a small bowl, combine blueberries, mixed fruit, lime juice, sugar, lime peel, spices and salt.

Serve immediately over pound cake or ice cream; or refrigerate, covered, up to four hours.

Cook's notes: Although flavor and texture is best when served fairly soon after preparing, the mixture can be covered tightly and refrigerated for up to two days.
