Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Begin by finely chopping the onion and jalapeños. If you want to reduce the heat, make sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeños.
- Dice the grilled pineapple into small, bite-sized chunks. If you don’t have leftover grilled pineapple, you can grill fresh pineapple slices for a few minutes on each side to give them a smoky, charred flavor.
- Combine the Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the chopped onion, pineapple chunks, and finely chopped jalapeños.
- Stir in the ginger marmalade and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. The marmalade adds a deliciously sweet and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the heat from the jalapeños.
- Chill and Serve:
- Stir everything together to combine, ensuring the ingredients are evenly mixed. For the best flavor, allow the salsa to chill in the refrigerator for
