Peach Salsa

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.  







Peach Salsa
modified from allrecipes.com

*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.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
