Notes
Store: Store peach salsa in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 2 - 3 days. Although, this fresh sweet and spicy salsa is best enjoyed within 1 day of being made.
Tip: Taste as you go. Make the recipe as directed and then taste. Want more heat, add more jalapenos (with the seeds). Need more acidity, add more lime. If the peach salsa isn’t flavorful enough, I suggest adding a pinch more salt.
