Making fresh peach salsa
Since peaches are the star of this recipe, you’ll want to start with the best and most flavorful peaches you can find. O’Henry peaches are always a good bet, but what variety you have available to you will depend entirely on your location.
I prefer to use freestone peaches; this means the peach flesh is easy to remove from the pit.
Fleshy Roma tomatoes are a good bet here, but again — use what’s available to you locally for the freshest flavor.

As for the peppers, the recipe uses mild canned peppers. If you’ve got fresh hot peppers, though? By all means, use those. You’ll need to adjust the amount, depending on the heat you desire in this peach salsa. Two to three peppers ought to be enough!
You can use a food processor to make this recipe, but no worries if you don’t have one. It will take a bit more time, but simply use a sharp knife to chop the ingredients into a small dice.
