How to Make Peach Salsa
- Sterilize 8 half-pint jars by placing them upside down in a 325°F (160°C) oven for 15 minutes.
- Blanch peaches in boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately transfer to an ice bath. Peel, pit, and chop peaches into 1/2-inch pieces; you should have 6 cups.
- Blanch tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately transfer to an ice bath. Peel, remove seeds, and chop into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a large stainless steel or enamel-lined pot, combine the chopped peaches, tomatoes, onion, jalapeño peppers, sweet red pepper, cilantro, vinegar, honey, garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. If the mixture is too thin, continue to simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and taste, adjusting seasonings as needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat.
- Ladle the hot salsa into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
- Remove air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil (like a rubber spatula) around the inside of each jar.
- Re-adjust headspace to 1/4 inch if necessary. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.
- Center the lids on the jars and screw on the bands until fingertip tight.
- Place jars in a canner with enough water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for details).
- Carefully remove jars from the canner and place them on a towel-lined surface. Cover with another towel and allow to cool completely. You'll hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
- Check for a proper seal: lids should be concave (pushed down) and won't flex when pressed. Label and store sealed jars in a cool, dark place.
