Peach Salsa

Peaches may not be your first choice when making salsa. Tomatoes usually hold that honor.

But, I must say this is a surprising win of a combination. My Peach Salsa recipe is bright and refreshing. When you find yourself with more peaches than you can handle, this is a nice little recipe to have up your sleeve.

I served mine with chips, but I do think it would pair nicely with grilled fish or a lime chicken.



Peach Salsa
(Makes 2 cups)

3 ripe peaches
1/4 red onion, minced
1/2 jalapeno, minced
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare an ice bath in a medium bowl. Fill it with water and ice. Set aside.

With a small paring knife, cut a tiny "X" into the top of the peach.

Bring a medium saucepan filled with water to boil.  Once the water boils, gently place the prepared peaches into the boiling water. Boil for 3-5 minutes so that skin loosens. Using a spider ladle, remove peaches from boiling water and place immediate in ice bath. Let sit for five minutes. Peel the peaches. Dice the peaches.

In a medium bowl, combine peaches, onion, jalapeno, lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper. Gently stir.

Eat immediately if need be, but it's great to let the flavors blend together for about an hour. You can serve at room temperature or chilled with tortilla chips or with fish or chicken.
