With garden tomatoes popping and a fridge full of peaches, I decided to try making peach salsa for the first time. I was torn between fresh or canned — so, why not both?

Peach salsa is a little less acidic than regular tomato salsa. Not only is it excellent as an appetizer with tortilla chips, it’s also really good as a topping for fish or pork.
2 cups tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 sweet bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1. Chop tomatoes in ¼-inch dice and transfer them to a large bowl.
2. Finely chop seeded pepper and jalapeños. Finely chop the onion and transfer all your veggies to the bowl.
3. Dice the peaches — slightly larger than the tomatoes to give them more of the center stage in this salsa. Transfer peaches to your bowl.
4. Add chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
5. Fold everything together until well mixed. Taste and add more salt and pepper to taste if desired.
This recipe is the perfect mix of sweet and heat that is refreshing and so good you’ll want to make it again and again.
1 cup finely chopped red onions
4 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and finely chopped
1 large sweet red pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (more for more heat)
How to Make Peach Salsa
1. Blanch peaches and cool in sink of ice-cold water. Peel, pit and chop into small chunks.
2. Blanch tomatoes and cool in sink of ice-cold water. Peel, remove seeds and chop into small chunks.
3. In a large cooking pot, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered for about 5 minutes, stirring often. If the mixture is too thin, continue boiling for another 4 to 5 minutes or until enough liquid has evaporated and the mixture thickens.
4. Ladle hot peach salsa into hot jars within ½ to ¼ inch from the top.
5. Using a paper towel, wipe the rim to remove any residue.
6. Center lid and hand tighten. Repeat until you run out of salsa to fill jars.
7. Place jars into a hot bath canner. Process for 15 minutes.
8. Carefully, remove jars and place them on a towel, closely together. Then cover with another towel and allow to sit, undisturbed for 12 hours. Jars are sealed when lids are popped and curved down.
9. Once fully cooled, label, then store in a cool dark place.
