Spicy Summer Fruit Salad

Submitted by alligirl

"I received this recipe in an email from Driscoll's. "Jalapeno and cool mint turn berries and stone fruit into a tangy-sweet summer fruit salad. The variety of fruits make an attractive visual mosaic too. Let the salad stand for about 30 minutes before serving to mellow and blend the flavors." Sounds wonderful for the summer!"

Delicious and surprising fruit and berries with jam, jalapeño and mint! Hot and cool at the same time, I like that.

Delicious mixture of fruits -- made as directed except I skipped the mint (out of). Delish! Think it will be great with breakfast too! Thanks for sharing!
