FAQs
Can I use canned peaches for this salsa?
Fresh peaches are recommended for the best flavor and texture, but if canned peaches are used, drain them well and choose ones packed in juice rather than syrup to avoid extra sweetness.
How spicy is the salsa?
The heat depends on the amount and type of jalapeno used. Removing seeds and pith will reduce the spiciness. You can adjust the quantity according to your heat preference.
