Tangerine Salsa

• 1/3 c. tangerine juice (orange juice can be substituted)
• 2 T. brown sugar
• 2 T. red wine vinegar
• 2 medium tangerines -- peeled, seeded and chopped
• 1/2 c. chopped onion
• 2 T. snipped parsley
• 1-3 tsp. crushed red pepper -- according to taste
• 1 clove garlic -- minced

In a small skillet, combine the fruit juice, brown sugar and vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer the mixture for 5-6 minutes or until it becomes syrupy. Remove the syrup from the heat and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour the tangerine syrup over the mixture and toss gently to mix. Chill the salsa until you are ready to serve it.
