Before diving into our delicious peach salsa recipe, let’s explore a few types of fresh peaches California has to offer that you may encounter at the grocery store that. You’ll find two main varieties of fresh peaches from the Golden State: yellow peaches and white peaches. – Yellow Peaches: These are sweet with the perfect balance of tangy acidity. They are excellent for adding a robust peach flavor to your salsa. – White Peaches: These are less acidic than yellow varieties and have a lighter, floral sweetness and a lovely aroma. They add a delicate sweetness to any dish.
A ripe and ready-to-eat peach will feel slightly soft to the touch. If your peaches aren’t quite ripe yet, simply leave them on the counter, ‘shoulders’ down (the end with the stem), away from direct sunlight to allow them to continue ripening. This ensures you get the best flavor for your homemade peach salsa.
