'Tis the Season - Aunt Sarah's Award Winning Recipe

No, darlings, not that season, and not for egg nog or cinnamon-anything.

Our dear Aunt Sarah won an award for her Lemon Rum Mango Salsa in two categories: People's Choice and Most Original, and we at Mama K's think that THIS is the ideal season for fruit salsas. This one in particular is worthy of its title:

Blue Ribbon Lemon-Rum Mango Salsa

Ingredients
~4 cups coarsely chopped mango (look at using 4-6 mangos, depending on how big they are)
~3 Tbl. sugar
~1/2 cup Lemon Bacardi Rum

~2 cups cooked corn (or frozen, uncooked works great as well)
~1-1/2 cups finely chopped red onion
~1 cup chopped cilantro
~Salt and pepper to taste

Steep mangos, sugar, and rum for 30 minutes; add remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Enjoy this salsa over everything "summer": a BBQ pork roast, a chef's salad, or as an appetizer with tortilla chips and guacamole. Oh, yum.

Fresco e bello: Add a couple of chopped avocados to it for absolute perfection, and sit back and wait for the awards to come your way!

(In the meantime, many thanks to our dear Aunt Sarah!)
