Lone Star Peach Tomato Salsa

Lone Star Peach Tomato Salsa blends juicy peaches with ripe tomatoes for a sweet-heat balance, lifted by jalapeños, Hungarian wax peppers, and a tangy splash of vinegar. Fresh oregano and cilantro add herbal brightness while cumin lends warmth, making it a vibrant condiment for tacos, grilled meats, or game-day snacking.

  6. 6

    Bring to a rolling boil; reduce the heat and let simmer for 20 minutes, breaking up some of the tomato chunks with an immersion blender halfway through to create more juice.
