Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups peaches (about 10 large peaches) peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 4 cups tomatoes diced
  • 4 jalapenos seeded, finely diced
  • 2 cups onion diced
  • 2 bell peppers seeded and diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • tsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp cilantro
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 cayenne pepper seeded and diced (optional for extra heat)

Equipment

  • Water Bath Canner
  • 7 Pint Jars

Method
 

  1. Prep your jars. Wash jars in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Place them in your canner (or a large pot with a rack) and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and keep jars hot until ready to fill.
  2. Prepare lids and bands. Wash lids and bands in warm soapy water. Lids no longer need boiling water before use. Just keep them clean and at room temperature until needed.
  3. Combine ingredients. In a large stainless steal pot, stir together all ingredients.

  4. Cook the salsa. Bring mixture to boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the pot from heat.

  5. Fill jars. Working with one jar at a time, remove it from the hot water and place it on a towel covered surface to prevent cracking. Ladle hot salsa into the jar, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Slide a non-metal utensil around the inside to remove air bubbles, the recheck headspace.

  6. Clean rims & apply lids. Wipe rims with a clean cloth dipped in vinegar. Place lid on the jar, then screw on the band until fingertip tight. Don't overtighten.
  7. Process in boiling water bath. Place jars back into the canner, ensuring they are covered with at least 1 inch of water. Bring to a rolling boil and process for 15 minutes.
  8. Cool. Turn off heat, remove the canner lid, and let jars rest in the water for 5 minutes. Using a jar lifter, transfer jars to a towel lined counter. Let them cool undisturbed for 24 hours.
