Yesterday was a culinary fairy tale day for me! I prepared fresh peach salsa in the orchard for a Show-Me St. Louis cooking clip which will air Monday, July 21. With the smell of tree-ripened peaches in the breeze and cooler than normal temperatures, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect day to be cooking in the orchard.

This fresh peach salsa recipe appears in our Eckert Family Summer Cookbook along with a few suggested variations. Today, I added the optional cilantro and jalapeno but I often adjust the recipe depending upon what I have on hand. I often substitute basil for the cilantro since it is my herb of choice.

Chris and I have enjoyed this peach salsa on grilled scallops and pork but for Show-Me, we simply dipped Eckert’s house-made tortilla chips. Juice from the peaches melds with honey to create a sweet sauce for the peaches and veggies. It is a great summer salsa and I hope you will give it a try!!
