Pineapple and Mango Salsa

When I first tried the recipe I was not so sure. My original taste of the salsa was very Tabasco and HOT. After it set in the refrigerator the flavors all melded together for a beautiful experience. The longer you leave it in the fridge the better the flavors. This has a salsa has a nice blend of fresh citrus against the pepper of the Tabasco. Full of tropical fruit flavors, this exotic salsa provides a lively flavor contrast to robust savory Mexican fare. You can substitute a papaya for the mango for a slightly different taste experience.
