Easy Apple Berry Salsa Recipe for MFP: Tips and Reviews

[straitfan]

Has anyone tried the Apple Berry Salsa recipe in the new Manual Food Processor? I need to make some up tonight, and am going to be in a hurry. I haven't used the MFP very much, and I'm not sure about the Strawberries, will they get overprocessed? Will I end up with applesauce? I'd love to hear if some one has tried it any tips you might have?
TIA!

It works fine-

I would probably do it in batches, then just mix in a bowl

The apple 1st, dump, then add strawberries & kiwi & remaining ingredients.

the key is NOT to overstuff the thing

Can you please provide the recipe? Sounds great Thanks!

 

[tiggerhale]

We did it at our Cluster Meeting - just like nancycookspc said. It was great!

 

[straitfan]

Oh Great! Like I said, I'm going to be rushed tonight and think this will be a good short-cut. One other question........did you run the apples through the apcs/ or just wedge them with peels on? Thanks! Sorry KPC Chef...at work and don't have the recipe with me...it's in All the Best>

When I first got my MFP, I was excited to try it, so I wedged an apple and tossed it in the pancake batter. I worked great with peel on.

Great! I may just do it this way to save a little more time! Now if I could think of a way to get out of peeling that kiwi>>>>>>>>>>

If you don't want to peel a kiwi, cut it in 1/2 (horizontally) and use a teaspoon to scoop it out quickly and easily.

Or the avocado peeler.

I didn't get the healthy cookbook what is this recipe can I pull it up under the recipe search. I know most that are in the cookbook you can not.

Serrated peeler is great for kiwi!

We just did this at our cluster meeting last night. We used the apple wedger first, then the food chopper on one apple. On a second apple, we wedged it and then put it in the MFP and processed it a little. We used the Core & More on the strawberries and the serrated peeler on the kiwi. Then added the strawberries and kiwi to the MFP. It worked great. Zested the orange with the new little zester and then quartered the orange and used the Citrus Press. Let's see...was that everything? I'll have to look up the recipe and check.

It's an old recipe from the "All the Best" cookbook. (oldie but a goodie).

I ended up doing this each ingredient separately in the MFP as someone suggested. (I did a double batch). It worked FABULOUSLY well! Like Amanda mentioned, I used the apple wedger (left the peel on), the new zester, the core and more, the serrated peeler (I knew that would work...just my OP was how to save time!!) I didn't think of using the veggie wedger on the orange and then using the press (I have the juicer). Will do it this way again!

I did it at my brunch show yesterday. I used the A/P/C/S because my host wanted to see it in action. Forgot my peeler and wish I'd known about scooping out the kiwi.

Also wish I'd known to do the apples 1st then the rest...half way through I had to ask my hostess for a spare bowl to mix it all up. Yes, I know I should have tried the recipe at home first

This is a recipe I'll be making all season! Love it!!

 

[Becca_in_MD]

What have you been serving with the salsa? I'm trying it at home tonight and bought cinnamon graham crackers. Other suggestions?

 

[Chefgirl2]

I brought cinnamon chips that I pre-made to the show.

 

[raebates]

You can buy cinnamon chips in a lot of stores now if you don't want to make them.

 

[ree_countrygirl]

i did it tonight at home to practice and it got too runny before i got my apples completely chopped. im glad to know it does fine with the peels on the apples. i wont peel them at my show in that case! lol!

I think hte Mango Salsa Sundaes will be making a comeback - beween the mango wedger and the MFP, this will be awesome! I'm doing it next weekend in fact.

S/S 2006 SBRC for the recipe.

 

[almondfarm]

I have been doing it at all my shows, bringing chips premade, then use apple wedger for apples, the veggie wedger for the orange and the new micro plane to zest, the core and more for strawberries and I have just been peeling the kiwi with forged cutlery. and new measuring spoons for the apple jelly.

I did this at my first show as a throwaway recipe. Made the chips ahead, and most of the salsa in the MFP the night before. I left out one apple. Then at the show, used the wedger on the apple, then tossed it in the MFP to be chopped. Stirred that into the rest of the recipe already made and chilled, and it was ready to eat. The salsa wasn't my "real" demo, but I wanted to be sure to have time to talk about the MFP, and this worked well.

This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Apple Berry Salsa is probably my favorite PC recipe. I hadn't thought about using the MFP - I have some strawberries that need to be used, I'm gonna try it! If you don't want to mess with the Pita chips the Biscoff cookies (like you get on Delta!) and can buy at Kroger (and right now my Big Lots has them!) are a really good match with it!
