Storage Tips
The Best Way to Store Leftovers
Storage – Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. The salsa will keep for up to 4 days. It will become juicier the longer it sits.
Make Ahead – Homemade peach salsa is a great make ahead option! The flavors are best when it’s had at least 30 minutes to sit so the flavors can meld. You can make it earlier in the day or the day before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Peach Selection: Use peaches that are ripe but firm to maintain texture.
- Flavor Development: Letting the salsa sit for 30 minutes enhances the flavors.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust ingredient quantities to suit your taste preferences.
