Oh my, this salsa is so good, you have to try it, it is even better than I anticipated it would be. It is basically just substituting peaches for tomatoes, which add a light sweetness to the salsa. The vinegar is in the recipe so that the salsa can be canned using the water bath method. I found the recipe and directions for canning here. I made and canned this salsa Thursday of last week, but haven't had time to write about it until now. We were gone over the weekend again, it was fun, but being gone over the weekend really puts me in a time pinch for the week, trying to keep up with the garden, housework and preserving while working full time.
The sweet bell peppers, jalapenos and onions in the recipe I was able to gather from my garden. This has been a good year for peppers for us, we have had hot humid weather and our peppers are larger and ready for picking earlier than they have been other years.
I had enough peaches left over from canning to make 3 batches of peach salsa. The first batch I added the honey as the recipe called for, the next batch I made was a double batch and I left the honey out, it was sweet enough for me without the honey. I only had one red bell pepper, the other two were green, so the first batch was prettier, but the taste will be the same.
I think this salsa will be very good with chicken or fish, and of course, just right out of the jar with chips. This winter we will have the taste of summer in these beautiful jars.

Now that really sounds like a great salsa, I wonder if my wife will let me try it with our apricots. Thanks for the wonderful recipe idea.:)
ReplyDeleteI'm super impressed by your list of preserved food!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm a traditional kind of person when it comes to food, and I was considering making a regular tomato salsa this weekend.

ReplyDeleteHi and welcome to the two for tuesday recipe blog hop! So glad you stopped in to link up because new blogs make me so happy as I get to check out their recipes and sites. I am now following you. Peach salsa is one of my favorite summer recipes. I really love it on a bit of white pan fried fish and then when I take the fish out of the pan, i put a good dollop of salsa in the pan and reduce it down while it heats up. It is SO good! yours looks lovely. Do hope to see you again next week on the blog hop and YOU really are a champion canner and preserver! Very cool. I have kombucha and sauerkraut, but need to do MORE! What an inspiration! :) Alex@amoderatelife
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with the blog hop at Two for Tuesday. I just yesterday noticed that my peaches are starting to ripen, but I promised myself that this year, I wouldn't make jam, because it never gets eaten (no real sweet teeth here). So you can bet I'll be canning up a gorgeous salsa like this.
ReplyDeleteHow yummy and you are right - you will be eating a bit of summer in the winter - yea!! I am just beginning my path of canning - you are the master!! LOL thanks for linking this to Two for Tuesdays!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful. I'm hoping for a good peach crop this summer so I can make some. Thank you for sharing this.
