Notes
To adjust the spice level of the salsa: Remove the ribs and seeds for less heat, or leave them in for more heat. I used ½ of a jalapeno and that yielded 1 tablespoon. It will depend on the size of your jalapeno.
Ingredient notes
Roma tomatoes work the best because they have a firmer texture and less juice than other tomato varieties. This makes them ideal for salsa because they don't release too much liquid, which could leave the salsa too watery.
Peeling the peaches is optional.
You can use any color bell pepper you desire.
When it comes to lime juice, fresh is best! You’ll need 1-2 limes, depending on how big and juicy they are. Roll your citrus. With slightly firm pressure, use your hand to press on the lime and roll back and forth on the counter before juicing it. This helps to get things loosened up and maximize the amount of juice.
