- 3 8-ounce firm but ripe Bosc pears, peeled, cored, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 large serrano or jalapeño chili with seeds, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)
- Mexican limes, sold at Latin American markets and some supermarkets, are especially good in this recipe because they are sweeter and more fragrant than Persian limes (the more familiar variety). Mexican limes are also referred to as Key limes.
