Fresh Peach And Tomato Salsa
Servings: 3 cups (may vary)
Calories: 140kcal
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup white distilled vinegar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp tomato paste
- 5 medium roma tomatoes
- 3 medium ripe peaches
- 1 medium purple onion
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper
- 4 garlic cloves peeled and minced
- handful of cilantro [around 1/2 cup packed]
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp cayenne
Instructions
- On the stove top in a small saucepan heat the vinegar, sugar and tomato paste together until the sugar dissolves and the tomato paste has melted completely, then remove from the heat.
- Clean all of the vegetables thoroughly. Peel the onion and peaches and remove the pit.
- Cut all of the veggies and peaches into similar size chunks. When cutting the jalapeno pepper, leave the seeds in only if you like your salsa really spicy, otherwise, use a teaspoon to scrape and remove them.
- Place the blade attachment into the center of the food processor, then begin to layer the ingredients evenly around the blade. Reserve the garlic cloves to add later.
- Add the cilantro close to the top so it won't over process.
- Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Place the top firmly on the food processor and lock it into place.
- Use the pulse feature to process the salsa. Drizzle the vinegar mixture in through the tube at the top while you pulse.
- Remove the lid and taste. Adjust the seasonings, if needed. Depending on how ripe your peaches are, you may like it a little sweeter, or the cayenne may need adjusting.
- Mince the garlic by hand. Stir it into the salsa at the end of processing.
- Store in an airtight container. Chill thoroughly for at least 2 hours before serving.

I ended up with a medium mixing bowl overflowing, much more than 3 cups. I at first thought my food processor was just smaller than yours because I had to process it in 3 batches. Good thing it tastes great because we have a lot of salsa to eat! Thanks for sharing your recipe and giving me another use for my abundant roma tomatoes.
Aren’t you lucky to have such a terrific yield? Things that can change the end result: Measuring accurately, pulsing the texture more finely or turning it into a puree will increase volume, ripeness of the peaches and tomatoes used. Good on you for such a successful outcome!
How can I freeze this rec. Thanks
You could freeze it just like freezer jam, in a freezer safe container or storage bag.
This was so delicious! I cut the red peppers, because I’m allergic, but still one of the best salsa’s I have ever eaten!
I might never buy salsa at the store again!
I’m so happy you loved this, it’s a personal favorite, thanks!
My daughter made this and shared some with us. This is wonderful and is better than any store bought peach salsa I’ve had. I’m so excited I have fresh peaches to make a patch!
I love it, too, thanks so much!
Absolutely will make again! The combination of sweet and acid are unbeatable. Even my grandchildren loved it. I didn’t have a red onion so I used a yellow one. It didn’t seem to make a difference.
I can’t wait to try this recipe – I’m looking to replicate a salsa I enjoyed in Lake Okoboji Iowa – this looks very similar to the ingredients. Have you made any replacing the peaches with fresh cherries?? I think that could be my next kitchen experiment.
I have never used cherries in this recipe. I hope you enjoy it!
Think this recipe can be do as canning?
I would love to do canning that recipe and have it a year around!!
It is quite delicious, thanks Emisha! This is a fresh salsa and I don’t think it would be suitable for canning as typically you need to cook canned goods prior. That said, you could probably adapt it, if you’re so inclined.
Can you can this recipe?you can can things that aren’t cooked. The processing cooks it while it is in the glass jar.
Yes, you can using proper canning techniques.
Hi! This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it. I was wondering if you think that it could be frozen. I don’t like to make a large amount and freeze some in zip locks. Do you think it will keep!
Thanks!
That’s a terrific question, since this is a fresh salsa you could. Reference this recipe for pointers.
Hello, I have many Texas friends!! I’m a bit partial, but, we love this sweet and spicy salsa, I hope you do too! Enjoy and thanks for visiting! 🙂
