Can I use canned or frozen peaches instead of fresh?
For taste and texture, it is best to use fresh firm peaches. However, if fresh peaches are not in season, and all you have available are canned or frozen peaches; you can certainly use those. I would certainly suggest draining canned peaches and thawing out frozen ones. Pat them dry before dicing to get rid of any excess moisture.

Place your peach salsa in a 16 oz wide mouth mason jar or an airtight container. Keep salsa refrigerated for up to 3-4 days.
