I have been waiting all year long for peaches to come into season so I could make this salsa! We love it. When you first take a bite you taste the sweet peaches, but it is quickly followed up by the spiciness of the peppers. As a side note, we picked these peaches off my parent's trees, which makes them that much sweeter.
Try eating this salsa with Hint of Lime Tostitos! So good!
I've written this with canning instructions since that's what I usually do, but it's not necessary.
*makes about 3 pints
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
4 jalapeno peppers, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
Zest and Juice of 1 large lime
1/2 package light fruit pectin crystals
3 cups white sugar
canning jars and lids or a large container
Directions
Sterilize jars and lids. I use my dishwasher for this by running a small load and hitting the sterilize setting. Then I just keep the dishwasher door closed till I'm ready for the jars so they'll be hot.
In a large saucepan, combine peaches, onion, pepper, cilantro, garlic, cumin, vinegar, lime juice and zest, pectin and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and carefully pour into hot jars leaving 1/4 inch air space. Wipe tops of jars and place lids and rings onto them.
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
OR, just let the salsa cool, add it to your container of choice and refrigerate till ready to use.
