I've now spent two weekends canning my favorite salsa recipe, peach and mango salsa. Peaches have been on sale for $0.77 per pound here in central Texas, and I had to take advantage of that! My yield so far has been 12 half pints of hot (those jalapenos are fiery this year!), 12 half pints and 6 pints of medium. Easy to do in a water bath canner I bought at Goodwill for $5. Here's the basic recipe, which may be doubled or tripled, if you want to make more:
6 large ripe peaches 6 large ripe mangos 1 medium sweet onion 5 jalapenos 1/2 to 1 cup water
Peel and chop onion and add to large pot. Remove stem end and chop jalapenos, removing all seeds and membrane for mild salsa, leaving some seeds for medium salsa, and throw it all in for HOT salsa. It's best to wear gloves for this step. Peel and dice peaches and mangos, and add to pot with water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Pack in hot jars and process for 20 minutes. Remove jars from water bath and place on towel to cool. If you don't want to can the salsa, simmer for 15 minutes, let cool and serve cold with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
