Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
Pat very juicy peaches dry with paper towels to prevent watery salsa.
For a milder salsa, remove all the jalapeño seeds and membranes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Stir well before serving, as the peaches naturally release juice over time.
