Peach Salsa

A friend gave me a jar of peach salsa last week. Ed and I opened it one night after the children were in bed. Maybe I shouldn't admit that we consumed most of the jar! I finally said that we had to stop since I wanted a little left to photo!

This stuff is awesome! It is a sweet mild salsa, though the heat could be adjusted to your taste.

Peach Salsa

10 lb tomatoes - cubed
5 lb peaches - peeled and chopped
5 cup onion - chopped
2 jalapeno peppers - chopped
10 green sweet peppers - chopped
3/4 bunch cilantro
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp oregano
3 tsp cumin
3 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic, minced
1 pack Mrs Wages salsa mix
3 heaping T clear gel
1 can tomato paste

Bring everything to boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Can 20 minutes.

Disclaimer: I've discussed the safety of canning recipes with some of you. To me this recipe seems safe since it contains tomatoes and peaches, both high acid ingredients, and vinegar to acidify the onion and peppers. But it does have clear gel, an ingredient not recommended in salsa by the experts. So make your own decision at your own risk.
