Peach Salsa
This fresh Peach Salsa recipe is sweet, zesty, and ready in just 10 minutes! It’s the perfect summer topping for tacos, grilled meats, or a fun dip to serve with tortilla chips.
Ingredients
- 1 pound roma tomatoes
- ¼ red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed
- 1 anaheim chili, stem removed
- 1 jalapeno, stem removed
- ½ vidalia onion, cut into quarters
- 2 pounds yellow peaches, peeled and pitted
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven broiler to high. Move one rack in your oven 4-6 inches below the heat source.
- Place the tomatoes, bell pepper, anaheim chili, jalapeno, and onion on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until the skins of the tomatoes and peppers are black and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven, flip the tomatoes, jalapenos and onion and cook under the broiler for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the skins of the tomatoes and peppers are black and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and immediately place the whole tomatoes, pepper, chili, jalapeno and onion in a blender or food processor with the peaches, white vinegar, brown sugar, salt, ground cumin, and garlic powder.
- Pulse the blender or food processor 10-15 times. I don’t recommend actually turning the blender on low or the salsa might turn out too thin. The level of chunkiness you’re going for will depend on how many times you pulse the salsa in the blender.
- Once you've reached your desired consistency, transfer the salsa to an airtight container and let it chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving the salsa.
Notes
- Spice level: this salsa recipe is mild in spice, but if you want absolutely no spice, you can omit the jalapeno. If you'd like to make a peach salsa with a medium spice level, add another jalapeno or a serrano pepper.
- You want to use ripe peaches for this recipe. To determine if a peach is ripe, give it a gentle squeeze. If it's rock hard, it's not ripe yet and you'll need to wait a couple of days for it to ripen. You also don't want your finger to dent into it when you gently squeeze it. That means it's overly ripe and might be brown inside. You want peaches that are just slightly soft to the touch.
- If fresh peaches are not in season, you can use two 15 ounce cans of sliced peaches, just be sure to drain them first and pat them dry to remove the sweet liquid they're stored in.
