How to Make Sweet Hot Peach Salsa

  1. Wash and chop 4 cups ripe peaches into ½-inch pieces.
  2. Finely chop 1 red bell pepper and 1/2 cup red onion.
  3. Mince 2-3 jalapeños (adjust to your preferred heat level), removing seeds for less heat.
  4. In a large stainless steel or enamel pot, combine the chopped peaches, bell pepper, red onion, jalapeños, 1 cup chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ cup lime juice.
  5. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Taste and add sugar to your preference (start with ¼ cup and add more to taste).
  9. Ladle the hot salsa into clean, sterilized canning jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  10. Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet (adjust processing time for higher altitudes).
  11. Remove jars and let cool completely. Check for seals by pressing the center of the lid – if it doesn't flex, it's sealed!
