Peach Salsa


Today I made peach salsa for the first time. It went together very quickly, and looks so pretty in the jar. I mixed one bottle of the peach salsa with one bottle of regular salsa and poured it over chicken breasts, then baked it in the oven. I served it over rice, and everybody loved it. Well, not everyone has tried it. Jory isn't home from football practice, and he is the super picky one in the family. Even if he hates it, the vote is still 6 out of 7, so it is a keeper! Here is the recipe:
Peach Salsa
1 cup white vinegar
12 cups chopped, peeled peaches
2 1/2 cups chopped red onion
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
1/4 cup honey
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
1 T ground cumin
3/4 t cayenne pepper
As you peel the peaches, drop them into the pan with the vinegar, this will keep them from going brown. Add all other ingredients and bring to a slow boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Put salsa into hot pint jars, and water bath or steam 15 minutes.
There is no salt in this recipe. I think it could use a touch of salt. Yield: about 11 pints

Sounds good, but I'll have to try yours, I finished all my peaches today. Along with 50 spaghetti sauce and a few whole tomatos for you. It was a long day. Glad that it has come to an end.
