¾ cup fresh lime juice, divided
5 large garden tomatoes (~2½ lbs / 1.15 kg)
2 large bell peppers (orange or yellow)
2 medium onions
2 large jalapeños
6 garlic cloves
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp red pepper flakes
1½ tbsp smoked paprika
1½ tsp sea salt
¾ cup white vinegar
2 tbsp cornstarch (optional)

Instructions

Blanch Peaches: Boil, peel, pit, and dice peaches. Toss immediately with half the lime juice.
Blanch Tomatoes: Score, boil, peel, seed, and chop.
Chop Veggies: Dice bell peppers, onions, jalapeños, and mince garlic.
Cook the Base: In a large pot, combine tomatoes, onions, garlic, jalapeños, peppers, spices, salt, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes to blend flavors.
Add the Peaches: In a separate bowl, mix diced peaches with cornstarch and the remaining lime juice. Stir this peach mixture into the cooked salsa off heat.

Notes

Want more zing? Add a chipotle pepper. Prefer it mild? Swap jalapeños for sweet peppers. Either way, give it a week to develop that next-level flavor before opening a jar!
