Got Apricot?

This is a great dip for a Western party! You can serve the Southwestern Apricot Salsa with plain tortilla chips, or try tricolored or lime-flavored chips for an added burst of flavor. How about putting the chips in upside-down cowboy hats? Maybe decorate with hay bales, old guitars, horseshoes, and rope.
