Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Before you start mixing and baking, here are a few kitchen secrets for perfect results:

Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prepare the fruit salsa a few hours in advance. Just be sure to add the lime juice to keep your fruits fresh and vibrant!
Ingredient Swaps: Feel free to substitute honey with agave syrup for a vegan-friendly option, or skip it altogether if you prefer a tangier salsa.
Storage Suggestions: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The salsa is best enjoyed within a day or two; just be mindful that fruits can soften over time.
Slicing Tricks: To make the perfect fruit pieces, use a sharp knife and cut the fruits in uniform sizes. This not only makes it pretty but ensures even flavor with every scoop!
