Pro Tips
You can mix and serve the salsa immediately, but I highly recommend keeping it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving so that the flavors get to meld together. Fresh salsa will not freeze well, and I would not recommend it. This salsa recipe is very flexible. You adjust all the ingredients to taste. If you want it sweeter, add more peaches. Add more jalapenos or a dash of chile powder if you like it spicy. For a milder version, skip black pepper powder and pepper flakes. Red onions add a sharp flavor. You can add white or yellow instead. I have not peeled the peaches; we love it this way. You can peel them if needed.
