Ingredients
  

For the Salsa
  • 2 medium Fresh Peaches Choose firm, ripe peaches; peeling them helps avoid unwanted texture.
  • 1 cup Cherries Use fresh, pitted cherries; substitute with other stone fruits if necessary.
  • 1 small Jalapeño Pepper Introduce heat to balance the sweetness; adjust based on your heat preference.
  • 1 small Red Onion Provides sharpness and crunch; can be replaced with green onions for a milder flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh minced garlic enhances depth of flavor; substitute with garlic powder if needed.
  • 1 handful Cilantro Offers freshness and herby notes; omit or substitute with parsley.
For the Flavoring
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Brightens the salsa; freshly squeezed is best.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Zest Enhances lime flavor and aroma; zest of one lime adds extra freshness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances flavors; sea salt is preferred.
