Step-by-Step Instructions for Canning Peach Salsa
  1. Start by sterilizing 6 half-pint jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes. Keep jars hot until ready to fill.
  2. Dice 6 cups of ripe freestone peaches and place in a large pot. Add 1 finely chopped red onion, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 2 minced jalapeños.
  3. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 cup of white vinegar, 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  5. Ladle the hot salsa into jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Tap jars to remove air bubbles.
  6. Wipe jar rims with a clean cloth, place lids on top, and screw bands until fingertip-tight.
  7. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 15-20 minutes, adjusting for altitude.
  8. Remove jars and let them cool for 12 to 24 hours on a clean towel.
  9. Check seals by pressing the center of each lid. Label and store in a cool, dark place.
