I look forward to peach season each year. No other food quite says “Summer” like a fresh, ripe, and juicy peach. While we don’t have peaches from our own fruit trees quite yet, we do have access to great quantities of Missouri and Illinois peaches, purchased in bushel quantities. We eat them fresh, cooked in cobblers, and mixed in this amazing peach salsa recipe.
(And check out my collection of dozens of fresh, cooked, and preserved peach recipes.)
This Peach Basil Salsa recipe is perfect on grilled white fish, or as a dip for tortilla chips. If you want, add a jalapeno pepper or two to spice things up, or make the recipe as is for a sweet and savory flavor.
Peach Salsa Recipe

Hi Teri – that sounds great! Nice and simple, and I bet it’s delicious. I just pinned it to my recipes to try board so I don’t lose it! 🙂
This year our “peach recipe discovery” is peach and plums cut up into a simple green salad with grilled or pan-fried salad. It’s a light – but hearty – summer dinner!
Have a great weekend! 😀
That sounds delicious! I should get another box of peaches and try them grilled! Yum!
My daughter wants to make this since we just got a basil plant from Trader Joe’s. Thanks for the recipe!
I hope you enjoy it!
Could this be made in big batches and canned? It sounds amazing!
I’ve never tried it cooked, but I don’t see why not. Just be sure to use a pressure canner to can it, and adjust the flavors as you see fit!
