Jenni’s Easy Sweet ‘n Mildly Spicy Salsa: Plus Peach Salsa
This is a very easy recipe for peach salsa because you don’t have to dice anything! And you can make this healthy recipe mild if you prefer.
In the fall it’s relatively easy to find bulk tomatoes for salsa-making (if you don’t already have enough from your own garden). I didn’t plant enough tomatoes myself, so I found a deal on some and decided to make salsa.

Instructions
Sweet ‘n Mildly Spicy Salsa
- Put onion, garlic, and pepper into a food processor, chopper or blender and pulse until well chopped.
- Add rest of ingredients and pulse until well chopped. Try raw or simmer for 10 minutes, cool and eat.
- This recipe, tends to be watery because whole tomatoes contain lots of water. I spooned a little off the top of my batch, but if you want it less watery just pour it through a medium mesh strainer.
Peach Salsa
- This recipe is similar to the one above. Put onion and pepper into a food processor, chopper or blender and pulse until well chopped. Add rest of ingredients EXCEPT for the peaches, and pulse until well chopped. Then add the diced peaches. Eat raw or simmer for 5-10 minutes, cool and eat.
- Again, you can strain off some of the extra water if you prefer.
