Peach Salsa
Yields: 2½ cups.
2 cups peeled and cubed fresh peaches (about 3 large peaches)
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
¼ cup finely chopped cilantro (leaves and tender stems)
2 tablespoons minced jalapeños (seeded and deveined if less heat is desired)
1 (2-ounce) jar diced pimientos, drained
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
Juice of 1 lime, or to taste
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
In a medium bowl, combine the peaches, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, pimientos, and lime zest. Add the lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
Let the salsa sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend, or cover and chill until ready to use (for up to 24 hours).
