Gingered Fruit Salsa

Crystallized ginger is ginger that has been cooked in a sugar syrup and dried; its slightly sweet, peppery flavor is a delicious complement to the fruits in this salsa. If you cannot find crystallized ginger, just use more fresh ginger.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)
• 2 Tbsp. Seasoned rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. Minced fresh ginger
• 1 Tbsp. Minced crystallized ginger
• 1 papaya, peeled, seeded and diced
• 1 pear halved, cored and diced
• 6 ounces strawberries, stemmed and sliced

Cooking Instructions:

In a medium bowl, stir together the wine, cranberries, vinegar and fresh and crystallized ginger. Let sit for 15 minutes, then add the papaya, pear and strawberries. Toss to mix well and serve.
