Well, the best I would do for the fresno chile AND the 'yellow hot chili pepper' was to substitute just half of a small jalapeno ~ For some reason or other I like just a HINT OF HOT & not a whole mouthful of it! Yeah, I know; cluck, cluck! STILL, I ended up with a very tasty salsa & one that I'd be happy to make again, too! I enjoyed it served with chicken breasts, but I can also see it as a refreshing dip, as long as I cut the melon & peaches into much less than bite-sized pieces! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
