Can I use frozen peaches for peach salsa?

Absolutely! Thaw them first and pat dry with paper towels - frozen peaches release more liquid. They'll taste sweeter than fresh (sometimes I prefer them!), just chop them smaller since they're softer. Pro tip: Toss frozen peach chunks with a teaspoon of sugar before thawing to enhance their natural flavor

How do I tone down the heat if it's too spicy?

Easy fixes! Add more diced peaches or stir in a teaspoon of honey. My secret weapon? A splash of orange juice - the sweetness balances the heat beautifully. Next time, remember to remove ALL the jalapeño seeds (that's where most heat hides!).

Can peach salsa be made ahead for parties?

You bet - it actually gets better! Make it up to 6 hours ahead, but wait to add cilantro until serving time. Store covered in the fridge - the flavors meld gorgeously. Just give it a gentle stir before your guests arrive.

What's the best way to peel peaches for salsa?

"My grandma's foolproof method: Score an X on the bottom, dunk in boiling water for 30 seconds, then ice water. The skins will slip right off! But honestly? I rarely peel - the skins add color and nutrients (plus saves time!).
