Peach Mango Salsa

Print Friendly and PDF

Costco sells this Peach Mango Salsa that my son really loves, but I'm not in love with the price! I was able to get my hands on some ripe peaches and thought I would try my luck at canning my own peach mango salsa. I found a recipe at allrecipes.com for Peach Salsa II but it wasn't quite what I was looking for so I scoured the Internet and read a few other recipes and made my own. Please use your own wisdom when trying someone's home canning recipes. Its always best to check with your extension office to see if a recipe is safe before using! Thanks.  This recipe is heavenly! I used up an entire jar at our pinochle party!

3 cups fresh peaches - peeled, pitted and chopped
1 mango - peeled, pitted and chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1cup diced roma tomatoes
4 jalapeno peppers, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
juice of one lime
1/4 cup white sugar
1 (49 gram) package fruit pectin crystals

5 pint sized canning jars

     Sterilize jars and lids.
     In a large saucepan, combine peaches, mango, tomatoes, onion, pepper, cilantro, garlic, cumin, vinegar, and lime zest, lime juice. Stir together pectin and 1/4 cup sugar.
