How to Make Fresh Pear Salsa

Core and dice the fresh pears into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Finely chop the red onion, fresh mint, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).
Zest one lime and juice it, reserving both zest and juice.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced fresh pears, chopped dried pears, red onion, mint, lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, jalapeño, salt, and red pepper flakes.
Gently toss all ingredients until well combined.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The salsa will taste even better if it sits for a few hours or overnight.
Serve chilled with your favorite tortilla chips, crackers, or alongside grilled meats or fish.
