This Peach Salsa Canning Recipe is the perfect mix of sweet and heat that is refreshing and so good you’ll want to make it again and again!

There’s nothing like homemade salsa versus store bought! It tastes so much better fresh and better for you without all the added preservatives and such. I made a large batch after picking up a big bag of peaches from the farmers market.

My family loves this recipe so much and tend to go through it all so fast. My plan is to make enough to last us throughout the winter (fingers crossed) with this canning recipe. It’s pretty simple to make and you can have fresh salsa any time you want.

Helpful Tips & Variations

If you want a chunkier salsa, choose peaches that are slightly under ripe.
Like your salsa spicy? Leave the seeds in the jalapeño peppers or add habañero for extra hot.
If you like your salsa mild reduce the amount of jalapeño peppers in the recipe.
Want it sweeter? Add diced fruit such as mango or pineapple.
Serve it on fish tacos, over pork tenderloin, as a dip with tortilla chips or over grilled chicken!

Tools Used to Make Peach Salsa

8 pint size glass canning jars with lids and rings, sterilized – for canning peach salsa. I like to use the wide mouth jars cause it’s easy to get the salsa in without spills.
Jar lifting tongs– great for picking up the hot jars from the hot bath canner.
Ladle – used to pour peach salsa in canning jars.
Large, Tall Pot – used as a bath canner to seal canning jars.
Canning Rack – makes it easy to place jars in large pot and pull out by the handles.

Carefully, remove jars and place on a towel, closely together. Then cover with another towels and allow to sit, undisturbed for 12 hours. Jars are sealed when lids are popped and curved down.
