My husband loved it! Is there anyway this could be frozen or canned for the future?
I haven’t tried freezing or canning this salsa, would love to hear if it works out for you.
Jave not yet made but have lots of peaches in the freezer. Can I can this salsa in a water bath canner? Thank you. Jody B
This is not a good salsa to can, it doesn’t have enough acid to preserve the salsa.
Do you have to peel the peaches first or do you add the fuzzy outside?
Hi Paula, I always peel them first
I made this tonight and served it over grilled porkchops. So yummy!! Absolutely would make it again!
