Dana's Apple Mango Salsa

This is my fresh salsa recipe.  I made this up after watching my dad make his a few times (he doesn't use a recipe and it's never exactly the same) and by reading the ingredient list on a packet of salsa seasoning mix.

Recipe:

1 medium vine tomato, diced

5-6 medium Roma tomatoes, diced

1 small onion, diced

1 small Gala or Fugi apple, diced

1 small mango, diced

1 Jalapeno pepper, chopped

2 large handfuls cilantro, chopped (about ½ cup)

2-3 cloves garlic, chopped

Juice of ½ lime
1 tsp cumin

1 tsp dried bell pepper

¼ C V-8 or tomato juice

a few dashes of sugar to taste

salt and pepper to taste

Prepare and mix first 7 ingredients. Sprinkle generously with salt and 2-3 dashes of sugar. Let sit about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain juice. Add remaining ingredients. Best if eaten the same day it's made.
