Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is wonderful served with grilled chicken, fish or pork. You can replace the plum for mango for a tropical twist! Plan ahead this needs to chill for at least 3 hours before serving."

I made this with yellow plums instead of red and I didn't measure the fresh jalapeno, just used half a jalapeno (seeded). The pepper was a welcome kick to the the otherwise sweet salsa (there was no 'sour' despite the recipe's name) without making it too spicy. We ate this with tortilla chips alongside guacamole and other dips as a starter for a company potluck.
