Peach Salsa


Peach salsa is so fun! Just thinking about it makes my taste buds so happy. You can eat it plain with some blue corn chips. Or peach salsa can dress up just about any meal. It’s easy to make and it’s amazingly delicious. I like to make lacto fermented foods to add those natural probiotics to our diets as much as possible.
Peach Salsa
The short version of instructions is to chop all of this up and mix it together. Viola! Easy. Then leave it on the counter at room temperature for 2 days so it can ferment. Then transfer it to cold storage if it lasts that long. You should peel the skins of the peaches and tomatoes and the easiest way to do that is to drop them in a pot of boiling water for 30-60 seconds and the skins will just roll off when you rub them.
If you haven’t had peach salsa before, you are in for a treat. You can also try substituting mangoes for peaches.  You can dress up any meat dish with scoop of peach salsa. It would be fabulous on fish tacos. Let me know your favorite ways to accent your dishes with peach salsa.
P.S. If you don’t want to lacto ferment your salsa, you can leave out the salt and whey. Here’s the recipe card! Bon appetite!
Ingredients
  1. 4 peaches
  2. 2-3 roma tomatoes
  3. 1 jalapeno pepper (chopped and deseeded)
  4. 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (2-3 limes)
  5. 1 bunch cilantro (or you can use even basil)
  6. 1/2 onion (I think red onion would be beautiful. I just went with what I had which was a Vadalia onion.)
  7. 2 cloves minced garlic
  8. 1 tsp real salt
  9. 2 tbsp whey
Instructions
  1. Put a pot of water on the stove to start boiling.
  2. Score the bottom of peaches and tomatoes by cutting an X at the bottom of each. Set up a bowl of cold and ice.
  3. Put tomatoes and peaches in rapidly boiling water for 30-60 seconds.
  4. Then immediately transfer the fruit into the bowl of ice cold water.
  5. Remove the skin from tomatoes and peaches and depitt the peaches.
  6. Dice/cut up the peaches, tomatoes, jalapeno, onion and cilantro.
  7. Mix it all together and add lime juice, minced garlic, real salt and whey.
  8. Stir and transfer to jars.
  9. Leave it on the countertop for 2 days at room temperature and then transfer to cold storage.

My brother teaches me something

I decided to write my brother a letter last week. While I sat down to write the letter, it dawned on me that there were some words he needed to hear. Chris reminded me that I might be the only person in the world that understands him because of experiencing the same childhood. First, I told him I was proud of him for working hard to stay out of trouble and keep a job. These are words that we both long to hear from our parents. Our desire to hear these words from them pushed us to act in two very different ways. Second, I told him that I admired him. That might sound strange intiailly but the last time that I saw him was at dinner at my parent's house. Before he left, he leaned down to give a hug to my father who was laying in the recliner. Dad didn't reciprocate, but I can't imagine how much courage and forgiveness had gone through Thomas's heart to be able to do that. I'm shamed to admit that I can only remember hugging my dad 2 times in my adult life. ...

Amazed again!

I was speaking to Don, the owner of the lot we purchased today and he exclaimed, I know someone that knows you! Gina Patterson! Hmmm...I know I'm pregnant and losing some brain cells slowly but the name didn't ring a bell. I told him that I had no idea who that was and then he cautiously asked, how are things with the baby? I said, Great, although, we did have a scare a few weeks ago. I told him the story but then affirmed that we had some amazing prayer warriors petitioning on behalf of Lana and I and God heard the prayers and the problem disappeared. Then he said, well, that's how I thought you know Gina. I received an email from her asking to pray for you and your baby. I was afraid to ask about the baby in fear that something bad may have happened. So somehow through a course of prayer chains, emails, and phone calls, this prayer warrior saint, Gina, received word about my situation and then turned on her list of prayer warriors to get them interceding on our behal...

Spring

It's hard to believe we've been in TN for almost 10 months. We've just about made it through all the season. I have to admit that it was quite beautiful to experience the fall leaves for more than a day that we might have seen in Charleston. The winter was a rough initiation but I made it. I'm pretty sure I made every attempt not to leave the house, but the snow pretty much helped with that. It seems that the seasons have changed once again overnight. Literally, in one day, the leaves on the tree next to our house have gone from barren to full of green. Bushes and trees are flowering everywhere. There's something so refreshing about spring. While all the seasons are beautiful, spring represents new life. What a perfect time for Lana to arrive!
