Salsa is one way to use peaches and nectarines which you may not have thought of; but when you have had your fill of peach pies, cobblers and other peach-based desserts, then you should certainly try your hand at making this sweet and spicy peach salsa recipe.
During the summer months, there is almost nothing better than enjoying this salsa, bursting with sweet, juicy summer peaches balanced with the pungency of shallots and hot peppers and the citrus tang of cilantro. Try this salsa once and you will forever associate summer with this one of a kind dip.
Peach Salsa
Ingredients -
4 peaches, peeled and chopped (nectarines may also be used, in which case peeling is optional)
2-3 Tbsp minced shallots
2-3 jalapeno or Serrano peppers, diced
Juice of 2 limes
2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Start by peeling the peaches (if you are using nectarines, then you can skip this step if you like) and chopping into small pieces.
Mince the shallots and chop the peppers and cilantro before mixing all of your ingredients in a bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
