Ingredients

1/2 cup white vinegar
6 cups chopped pitted, peeled peaches
1 1/4 cups red onion finely chopped
4 jalapeno peppers finely chopped
1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
1/2 cup cilantro loosely packed finely chopped
2 tablespoons liquid honey
1 clove garlic finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

Prepare the Canner and Jars

Prepare your canner, jars, and lids according to standard canning procedure.

Cook the Salsa

In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine the vinegar and peaches.
Add the onion, jalapeno peppers, red pepper, cilantro, honey, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat and boil gently, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat.

Fill and Process the Jars

Ladle the hot salsa into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace.
Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed by adding more hot salsa. Wipe the rim clean.
Center a lid on each jar and screw the band down until you feel resistance, then increase to fingertip tight.
Place the jars in the canner filled with water, making sure they are completely covered with water.
Bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, process for 15 minutes.
Remove the canner lid, wait 5 minutes, then remove the jars. Let cool on a kitchen towel for 24 hours.
Remove the rings and check that the jars are sealed properly. Write the name and date on the lids and store in a cool, dry place for up to one year.

Notes

Variation

For added flavor, replace 1 cup of the peaches with chopped, pitted, peeled apricots.

Storage

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
