and cinnamon and sprinkle over tortillas. Using a pizza cutter cut each tortilla into
8 wedges; place in single layer on a cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until
lightly browned and crisp. Cool completely.
2. For Salsa: Remove strawberry stems using a drinking straw, then slice using an egg
slicer. Core, peel, and slice apples. (Kiwi should already be peeled and sliced.) With
adult supervision, chop strawberries, apples, and kiwi with food chopper. Put fruit
into a medium mixing bowl.
3. Squeeze the juice from the orange; zest the peel. Add orange juice, orange zest,
brown sugar and apple jelly to the fruit mixture and mix gently. Chill and serve with
cinnamon chips.
