GOT PEACHES?
If you are lucky enough to have access to a peach tree or purchase some on sale in the grocery store (I have found them several times for .99 cents a pound lately). Then you have a great excuse to make yourself some of this delicious goodness.



I have read a ton of recipes for Peach salsa recently.
You may have a favorite already.
I cant think of many things I like better then some summer time fresh salsa.
The next Best thing would be to see shelves full of some bottled salsa waiting to be enjoyed!

 

Peach Salsa

½ cup white vinegar

6 cups chopped pitted and peeled peaches

1-1/4 cups chopped onion

4 jalapeno peppers, seeded (if desired) and chopped

1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

½ cup loosely packed finely chopped cilantro

2 Tbsp. honey

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin

½ tsp. cayenne pepper

In a large, stainless steel saucepan, combine vinegar and peaches. Add onion, jalapeno peppers, red pepper, cilantro, honey, garlic, cumin, and cayenne. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and boil gently, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Ladle hot salsa into hot jars, leaving a half inch head space. Remove air bubbles and adjust head space, if necessary, by adding more salsa. Wipe rim. Tighten hot lids onto jars to fingertip tightness.

Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes.

Cool and let seal.

Tomato Peach Salsa

3 1/2 pounds ripe, Roma tomatoes (blanch, peel, and chop)

1 1/2 pounds peaches  (peeled and chopped)

3 large bell type peppers

several hot type peppers (maybe 6 jalapeno type then add more depending on your taste)

1-2 large onions

fresh crushed garlic (1 head is nice but can use less)

1 small can tomato paste

3/4 cup white vinegar

1 tbsp. coarse salt

2 tsp. paprika (optional)

Put all ingredients in large pot.  Bring to boil uncovered and then turn down heat and simmer for 1 hour.  Keep an eye on it and stir every so often otherwise it can burn on the bottom as it thickens.  Then process in sterilized canning jars.  I use the hot water bath method and process 10 minutes for pint jars.  When I quadruple this recipe I get approx. 14 pint jars.

Enjoy the Goodness of Summer.

Eat Fresh and Bottle some for later.
