Author Notes: This salsa was inspired by a peach salsa I bought at a farmer’s market in Virginia. I set out to replicate it and made a few modifications to make it a little less sweet and a bit spicier. - MizChef

Makes about 2 ½ cups

2 cups chopped peaches
1/3 cup chopped shallot or finely chopped Vidalia onion
3/4 cups chopped red pepper
1 small jalapeno, minced
2 tablespoons minced mint
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons spiced rum (optional)

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate for an hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
2. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary, before serving. Serve with tortilla or pita chips.
