I am LOVING showing the MFP and I've been doing the Mango Confetti Salsa lately...but I have a host that doesn't like peppers or onions.

Any ideas?
 
You could still offer it only use just a little of each - you don't really taste either unless you use a lot. Otherwise if you just want to show it off, try the strawberry ice recipe.

oh I forgot about the strawberry ice recipe! I'll check that out. She doesn't even want to go there. I tried to tell her that but it's a no go. Apparently she was at a show recently and they made Pineapple Salsa and she hated it...didn't care that it's not even remotely the same. OH well....Keep the suggestions coming but I love the strawberry ice idea.
 
It's a really simple recipe so I would offer something with it.
 
How about Apple Berry Salsa with cinnamon chips? Show off the MFP and new Stoneware Cookie Sheet.

Yeah I just saw that...I'd probably just do the chips with it. I like simple!

I've never made the apple berry salsa - I'll check it out too.
 
I've done the apple berry salsa in the MFP at both of my shows, and it's sold it. I actually make the recipe mostly ahead, leaving out one apple. Then I'll have someone wedge the apple in the Veggie Wedger, then cut off the bit of core on each slice. (Gives me the chance to mention the apple wedger/corer, but also talk about all the different things the veggie wedger is good for). Next, those apple wedges go into the MFP, and someone else uses it to process. I stir the processed apple into the pre-made salsa mixture and transfer to the caddy with small bowls (one already filled with cinnamon chips). The whole thing takes about 3 minutes, and I do it while the Blue Cheese Bacon Bites are baking. Anyway, I've sold 2 MFPs and 3 Veggie Wedgers from this demo, plus got a booking because someone plans to get the MFP under the Host Special in April. It's great, because it's mostly a throw-away while my "real" demo is finishing up. I do 90% of the work ahead of time, but still get to showcase those products.

Thanks!! :thumbup:
 
I make fresh pesto in my MFP all the time. The chicken pesto flat brad is a good show recipe that can showcase it.
