03

Step

2 hrs

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. (2 hours minimum)

04

Step

2 mins

Before serving, give the salsa a gentle stir to redistribute the juices. Serve chilled and enjoy! (2 minutes)

Loquats can be slightly tart depending on their ripeness. Adjust the amount of lime juice or add a tiny pinch of sugar to balance the flavors if needed.
For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno pepper. For extra heat, leave some of the seeds in.
This salsa is best served fresh. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the strawberries may soften slightly over time.
