Recipe FAQs

How do I control the heat level?

Remove the jalapeño seeds and membranes to reduce heat, or use half a pepper. For milder heat, substitute with a seeded poblano or use only a small pinch of chopped jalapeño.

How can I tell if peaches are ripe?

Ripe peaches yield slightly to gentle pressure, have a fragrant aroma and rich color. Choose freestone varieties for easier dicing and a sweeter finish.

How long will the salsa keep?

Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the salsa stays best for 2–3 days. Texture softens over time, so make just before serving for maximum freshness.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes—mix ingredients and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to marry. If making further ahead, wait to add delicate cilantro until just before serving to keep it bright.

What are good substitutions for honey or agave?

Use a small amount of maple syrup or a pinch of granulated sugar to balance acidity. Omit sweetener entirely if peaches are very sweet.

What else pairs well with this salsa?

Besides grilled white fish, try it with grilled chicken, shrimp, tacos, or as a topping for mixed greens. A chilled Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riesling complements the fruit and acidity.
