Fruit Salsa & Cinnamon Chips

I'm not a huge fan of fruit (yeah yeah I know!), but I LOVED this!  We followed the recipe - but you could definitely add blackberries or blue berries - it was so good!!  We cut most of the fruit up - but we left the raspberries as is, and as you mixed it all together they sort of mashed in.  We used a strawberry fruit preserve - but you could for sure play around with that!  Regarding the cinnamon chips - they were difficult to find, but I think on the 4th attempt they were found at Kowalski's.  There is a recipe so you can make them - but buying them would be way easier if you can find them :)  We used 2 bags of chips for about 3/4 of the salsa.

Brought this for xmas eve at the Sodahls - and even though I added a new dish to their "xmas eve app tradition" - it still was a hit!
Makes 10 Servings
Ingredients:
2 kiwis, peeled and diced
2 Golden Delicious apples - peeled, cored, and diced
8oz raspberries
1lb strawberries - cut up
2 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 tablespoons fruit preserves, any flavor
Cinnamon Pita chips (recipe below)

In large bowl - mix everything together.  Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

To make Cinnamon Pita chips:
10 (10 inch) flour tortillas
Butter flavored cooking spray
2 cups cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).  Coat one side of each flour tortilla with butter flavored cooking spray. Cut into wedges and arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle wedges with desired amount of cinnamon sugar. Spray again with cooking spray.  Bake in the preheated oven 8 to 10 minutes. Repeat with any remaining tortilla wedges. Allow to cool approximately 15 minutes. Serve with chilled fruit mixture.
