Instructions

Place half of the drained pears and tomatoes in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse for a few seconds at a time until the mixture is almost puréed. It doesn’t have to be completely smooth; this is the base of the salsa and will help coat and hold the other ingredients together. Remove into a bowl.
Cut the onion in small dice, finely mince the garlic, and coarsely chop the cilantro. Add to the purée. Fold in the jalapeno, remaining pears, and tomatoes and stir to mix well. Add the vinegar and salt, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve with fish tacos.
The salsa will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
