Spicy Sweet Peach Salsa

"This is an awesome sweet hot salsa. It's a canning recipe not a fresh mix so with this one, you can have Peach salsa all year round :-) I've changed the recipe some deleting the celery as I don't like it (but to keep the necessary proportions of acids the same for safe canning, I subbed 1 3/4 extra cups green pepper and a 1/4 cup hot pepper. I used jalapeno but you could use your favorite) & adding two extra peaches; This salsa is wonderful w/ grilled chicken or fish or just as a go along to chips.Be prepared;with the jalapenos it DOES have a bite."

  3. I made this salsa......sounded really good and IS really good. I spent the entire Labor Day laboring over it! Like you, I substitued the celery, I did not use pickling spices, and used extra peaches. Used only a few hot peppers. I did a bushel tomatoes and just put the amounts in as I thought it would work out. Very happy with it! Thank you for a good base to start from!
