3 1/4 cups finely diced fresh fruit (e.g., cantaloupe, honeydew, papaya, mango, peaches)
3/4 cup finely diced onion

Crab Cakes
3 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons minced green bell pepper
1/2 small onion, minced
6 tablespoons pasteurized egg substitute (such as Egg Beaters) or more as needed
1/8 teaspoon Frank's hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/8 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
10 ounces shelled snow crab meat
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or more as needed
1/2 can (6 ounce size) pasteurized lump crab
light olive oil, for sauteing

directions

For Salsa: In a glass bowl, stir together Frank's hot sauce and tomato paste, then add preserves, Tabasco, cilantro, cumin and coriander. Stir to mix well (If making the salsa ahead, prepare to this point, then cover and refrigerate). Add fruit and onion. Toss to coat.

For Crab Cakes: Combine bell peppers, onions, egg substitute, Frank's hot sauce, mustard, garlic powder, thyme, parsley, cilantro, Cajun seasoning and cayenne. Stir until well combined.

Add snow crab and 1/4 cup bread crumbs and toss well. Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir lightly. Gently fold in lump crab.

Using a 1/3 cup measure, form crab mixture into a ball. If it does not hold together, gently stir in additional egg substitute and/or flour to bind.

Shape mixture into 2-ounce balls and coat with more bread crumbs. Flatten into patties 1 inch thick and 2 inches across.

Saute in olive oil until uniformly golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Serve with salsa.
