Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to make peeling easier. Dice into small, roughly ½-inch pieces.
- Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and membranes if you want to reduce heat. Finely chop the jalapeño.
- Finely dice about ¼ cup of red onion into small, even pieces.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine diced peaches, chopped jalapeño, and red onion. Stir in chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.
- Taste the salsa and adjust sweetness with more honey or brightness with extra lime juice if needed.
- Let the salsa rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. If preparing ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours, then bring back to room temperature before serving.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Remove jalapeño seeds to control heat. Fresh lime juice is preferred over bottled for brightness. Let salsa rest to blend flavors. Can be prepared up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated. Avoid freezing to maintain peach texture.
