Tasty Fruit Appetizer

Here starts the true confessions segment… There are foods I make from scratch and foods I buy pre-made.

I never make sushi, I always buy it. I know, I know… It’s easy to make. Yet that doesn’t stop me from wanting someone else to roll it for me.

I almost never make ribs. Takeout ribs from our favorite local barbecue joint are so darn good!

I do not make my own salty crackers, graham crackers, or animal crackers. Although I’m very impressed by people who do. I have favorite boxed brands, and just don’t have the time required.

I almost never roast a chicken. Grocery store rotisserie chickens all the way, baby.

Turkey? Yes.

Quail? Yes.

Chicken? No.

Fresh Peach Salsa Recipe

Whew! Now that that’s over, there are things others buy pre-made that I try my best to always make from scratch. I guess we all have our foods we’re particular about.

This time of year, when there is fresh produce in season everywhere I look, I’ve got to make the most of it.

Grilled Chipotle Peach Salsa is the perfect place to start. It’s a dip, it’s a sauce, heck who am I kidding… I eat it right out of the jar with a spoon.

Grilling peaches release their natural sweetness and add a smoky essence. Grilled peaches are amazing on their own, but combined with charred garden veggies and spicy heat, they really shine.

How To Make This Easy Peach Salsa

Ingredients

• 6 firm, ripe peaches
• 2 shallots, peeled
• 1 red bell pepper, seeds removed
• 2 teaspoons oil
• 1 clove garlic (large), minced
• 1-2 chipotle peppers, canned in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 lime
• 1 tablespoons honey, if needed
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium. Cut each peach into 4 thick slices. Cut the shallots in half and the pepper in quarters. Lay the peaches, shallots, and peppers on a baking sheet and toss with a little oil.

Carefully place the peaches, shallots, and peppers on the grill. Grill the peaches 1-2 minutes per side until nice grill marks have formed, but the peaches are still firm. Grill the shallots and pepper for 2-4 minutes per side. Remove and cool.

Chop the peaches, shallots, and peppers into small 1/4-inch chunks and place them in a bowl.

Mince the chipotle peppers, then add them to the bowl along with the minced garlic, cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, and honey.

Mix well and salt and pepper to taste. For a “saucier” salsa, puree half the peaches with the lime juice then, mix with the rest.

Enjoy this condiment with your favorite tortilla chips or on your favorite tacos.
