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.

Your confessions cracked me up! And this salsa looks amazing…can’t wait to try it!
I agree with never making sush! I leave that to the experts who present gorgeous plates of sushi rolls adorned with artfully cut veggies and orchids lining my plate! It’s a whole eating experience that I have no desire to compete with or even try!! But for salsa, yes, of course, I’m all about the freshness and combining the flavors I like. This is a great recipe; so vibrant and healthy looking!!
This sounds so delicious and summery! Yum.
I hope you had a wonderful Fourth…
Grilled peaches are the best! I’m loving this salsa.
We just made some amazing mango salsa tonight and this looks equally as good! Thank you for sharing with me, my dear friend. You brought a smile to my face. I hope you had a lovely 4th of July. Hugs from Austin!
Have to confess, I never make my own salsa. But peaches are piling up on the counter as we speak!
You have a way with the grill, lady, love the marks on the peaches! :)
This is the perfect summer salsa! This is a definate must make!
Sommer, what a perfect fruit salsa! I love all of your admissions on what you make and do not make, there are just not enough hours in the day to make everything….and I honestly don’t think I would ever want to make my own crackers….but for those that do, I am in awe!
I have to try grilling the peaches next time I make a fruit salsa!
Hot mama, that looks delicious! I could definitely rock that at a weekend grill party :)
I am so with you on the salty crackers, graham crackers, animal crackers and cheese. I do however love a roasted chicken and don’t think the store bought ones are as good. Never done turkey or quail though! This salsa looks awesome! Happy 4th!
Awesome….thank goodness you came out and confessed…now I don’t feel so bad about not roasting my own chicken… or making my own sushi… or using ready made pizza dough….or… ;))
The salsa sounds great… I love grilled peaches so I can only imagine how tasty this is!
This is great and I like the colors!
