Notes
For a spicier salsa, leave some or all of the jalapeño seeds and membranes, or substitute a habanero pepper.
Let the salsa rest for 10–15 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Stir before serving again, as the peaches naturally release juice.
Fresh peaches provide the best flavor and texture; frozen peaches are not recommended.
