just peachy

Don't you love that peaches are everywhere right now?  We ordered a big box from a friend who has a Utah-peaches connection [thank you Erin], and we've spent the last few days dreaming about peach pie and peach smoothies and peach sorbet and just plain peaches.  Today I froze some [with Fruit Fresh and sugar] to make smoothies later.  And Sunday, I made peach salsa.  It was so so good!  I found a basic mango/peach salsa recipe online, but changed several things and it was definitely a hit with [almost] everyone.  

• Molly raved, "this is AMAZING!"
• Grace took one bite and immediately spooned up some more.
• Mark poured it all over his burrito.  
• I just wanted to drink it like I do the green salsa at Tia Rosa's.

Here's the recipe:   


Peach Salsa
5 large peaches, peeled
1/4 - 1/3 large red onion
2 or 3 cloves garlic
1/2 bunch cilantro
juice of one lime
salt and pepper to taste


Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse, just a few times, until everything is evenly chopped.  Or chop all ingredients by hand.


We ate ours with tortilla chips immediately, but it was good chilled the next day too.


I didn't measure, but it seems like this recipe made about 2 1/2 cups salsa.
ENJOY!


Here's a link to the original recipe.

This is our peach box that sits atop our counter, and George's sippy cup.  I followed Becky Higgins' advice and took some pictures with the camera sitting on the floor and on the counter - AS IS - no tidying up - to get a different perspective on the everyday.  Here are a few more.
