WONDERFUL SALSA WITH BLACK BEANS AND CORN
I love Chic chi's Fiesta Style Salsa and was looking for a recipe on here that was similar and I couldn't find one. I canned Wonderful Salsa, recipe #9272 last year and LOVED it, so I created my own "Fiesta" Salsa. I would like to thank Jazze22 for sharing her Wonderful Salsa recipe. I will post the recipe as I made it, I did make a couple changes from the original recipe. I hope if you try it, that you like it as much as I do. To cut the heat remove the veins and seeds. Also, wear gloves when handling the peppers.

WONDERFUL SALSA WITH PEACHES
I am a salsa lover and Paul Newmans has a peach salsa that is great, so I went in search of a peach salsa (more tomato then peaches) and couldn't find any. I canned Wonderful Salsa, recipe #9272 last year and decided to try and can my own peach salsa. I would like to thank Jazze22 for sharing her orginal recipe. I thought that with the changes and the fact that I coudln't find one posted, I should post it in case others might be looking for a peach salsa. To reduce the heat, take out the veins and seeds in the peppers. Remember to wear gloves when handeling the peppers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Steps:
- Chop garlic, green pepper and cilantro until fine (I use a food processor).
- Chop the balance of the ingredients, except the jalapeno pepper; add to garlic/pepper mixture.
- Chop the jalapeno pepper; add to mixture to desired heat.
- Adjust all other ingredients to suit taste.
- Note: you may substitute regular garlic for the elephant garlic (adjust to suit taste).
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Vine-ripened tomatoes have the best flavor, so use them whenever possible. If you're using store-bought tomatoes, look for ones that are firm and have no bruises or blemishes.
- Choose the right type of onion: White, yellow, and red onions all work well in salsa, but they have slightly different flavors. White onions are the most pungent, yellow onions are milder, and red onions have a slightly sweet flavor.
- Don't over-chop the vegetables: The vegetables in salsa should be chopped into small pieces, but not so small that they lose their texture. A good rule of thumb is to chop the vegetables into pieces that are about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, and oregano add a lot of flavor to salsa. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Taste the salsa as you go: The best way to make sure your salsa is perfect is to taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. If it's too spicy, add a little sugar or honey. If it's too bland, add a little more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
Conclusion:
Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make at home, and there are endless variations to choose from. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, try making a batch of salsa. You won't be disappointed!
