In my weeklong quest to happily use a crate of peaches, I made this salsa to go with some grilled fish. My goal was to use every fresh ingredient on my counter, and this is the result. The sweeter the peaches and the melon, and the juicer the tomato, the better. Pack this salsa in a cooler and put it on anything you are eating on the beach.

Could you water bath can this for later?

Hi Yasmeen - I would make the following changes - add about 1 and a half ounces of fresh lemon juice, change the vinegar to apple cider vinegar, use mustard seeds instead of wet mustard, and omit the cilantro, but add fresh chopped cilantro when you serve as a condiment. I would also add the olive oil when serving.
