Peach Mint Salsa

mary winecoff's Note:

My mom gave me a plant that apparently had some mint with it. It has now taken over a part of my garden. This is a quick salsa to make with the peaches are at their peak. Goes great with grilled chicken and fish. Comes from Small Batch Preserving by Topp and Howard.

I made this ahead of time for a picnic and wasn't super impressed. The flavors seemed to muddle together whereas I was hoping to get more of an individual flavor from each. Perhaps it was because I made it ahead of time. Perhaps because I didn't cook it? It was a nice salsa but not quite what I was looking for.

Full 5 stars! Made once one huge batch of it, people loved it! It is sounds maybe to somewhat unappetizing, but it tastes wonderful, very nice recipe!
