Tips and Notes
- Peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches are not in season, you can use frozen peaches that have been thawed and drained.
- Spice Level: Adjust the heat by adding more or less jalapeño pepper according to your taste. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño.
- Texture: For a chunkier salsa, finely chop the ingredients. For a smoother consistency, pulse the mixture in a food processor.
- Storage: Store Peach Salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 days, and the flavors will meld together over time. Stir well before serving.
