Feijoa Salsa

Well, you have tried all kinds of fruits in salsa, I'm sure. I love peach and mango salsa that is out there. I did not invent anything new by making this one. I just am using what I have in abundance now, and that is Feijoa. I've done other things with it, and this is just another dish with this fruit.
1 Onion diced
1 Garlic clove pressed
5-7 Plum tomatoes diced
5-7 Feijoa fruits diced
10 or more sprigs of cilantro chopped
1 or 1/2 jalapeno finely diced
1/4 tsp cumin
juice of 1 lime
salt and pepper to taste
Start with onion, and salt it. Let sit for few minutes. I find that this takes some bite out of onion and your bad breath later. Squeeze or grate on micro plane zester garlic clove into the onion, then squeeze lime juice over.
While onion and garlic marinating, chop the rest of the ingredients. Be careful with jalapeno and use gloves when chopping it. Capsaicin can make your life miserable if not properly removed from your skin, and if unwashed hands get on your mucous membranes, don't blame me. Depending on how hot you want your salsa, use jalapeno whole or half. Also, the seeds and veins in the pepper are the spiciest parts. Mix well and enjoy.
