Looking for good Fruit Salsa recipe for canning?

I can and freeze all the great veges from our garden each year. I used to make Fruit Salsa from a Ball mix packet. The packet was yellow and you'd use part tomatoes and part canned fruit - cook it then can it. Ball doesn't make that mix anymore and we all loved that stuff!

Does anyone know of a recipe that sounds like this that I can make and can? It wasn't hot and spicy nor too sweet. I made it with peaches and pears which seemed just right but I have no clue what other spices were in the mix I bought. Of course, Ball's not making it anymore but they won't share any information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I only have 3 jars left from the last mix I found. If any one has access to a stash of that mix, I'd be interested in knowing where to get it too.

Update:

I think I need to add a little more detail. I REALLY liked the mix of tomato and fruit. The mix I used before was half tomato and half fruit (I chose 1/4 peaches and 1/4 pears) - I want a recipe that uses tomatoes AND fruit - and I have no idea what amounts of each to use nor what spices should be used or other things (like peppers?). The Fruit salsa had an initial sweet taste then later a small nip of spice like normal salsa. Due to the tomatoes, it had just the right acid-y taste so you knew you were eating tomato salsa but it had a wonderful sweetness to it. Most the recipes I'm finding on line are all or mostly fruit with no tomato at all. I don't want to think "I'm eating fruit" - I want people to think 'salsa' but taste something slightly different. I'd made a lot of this before - a few batches a year - and given it to friends and family. They all loved and are asking for more, but I can't find the mix anymore.

    Canning Fruit Salsa

  • 4 years ago

    My ABSOLUTE sought after recipe is as follows. fireplace and Ice Salsa you would be wanting: 3 cups chopped seedless watermelon (in spite of colour) 2 cups chopped Strawberries 2 cups chopped pineapple (non-obligatory) 2 cups chopped mango (non-obligatory) 2 Tbsp. diced purple onion a million - 2 Tbsp finely chopped clean mint leaves 2 Tbsp Olive Oil 2 Tbsp Lime Juice (not from focus!!!!!) 2 Tbsp finely chopped jalapeno peppers (that's recommended to placed on latex gloves on a similar time as slicing those) mixture properly, conceal and permit sit down in refrigerator for a minimum of an hour so the flavors can mixture mutually. each thing would be completed to style, put in extra or much less of something. possibly upload yet another fruit which you like, oranges could be high-quality case in point. that is eye-catching and scrumptious and has maximum of supplements that is not humorous! is going truly properly with fowl or maybe fish. So fresh. in case you do in comparison to distinctly spiced, basically cut back out the peppers and that is nevertheless scrumptious!

    Go to Chili Pepper Magazine web site, they have a Mango Salsa that's very good.
