Smoke Roasted Peach Salsa

Smoke Roasted Peach Salsa

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8-10 minutes
Makes: Approximately 4 cups
Recommended Pellets: Apple, Hickory, Cherry

INGREDIENTS:
6 medium peaches, cut in half, pits removed
3 medium tomatoes, cut in half
2 whole jalapenos (if you like it extra spicy, 1 for medium salsa)
2  whole green onions, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt  
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

PREPARATION:

Start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open for 4-5 minutes to establish the fire. Turn the temperature setting up to 375 degrees F, close the lid, and allow the grill to preheat for 10-15 minutes.

Place the halved peaches, halved tomatoes, and whole jalapenos directly on the grill grate. Close the lid and roast for 8-10 minutes or until the skin has split and blistered on the tomoatoes and jalapenos.

Remove from the grill and allow to cool until the fruit can be easily handled. Remove the skin from the peaches and tomatoes (it should just slide off). Remove the skin, stems, and seeds from the jalapenos.

Place the peeled peaches, tomatoes, jalapenos, and green onions in a large food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.

Add all other ingredients and pulse until desired consistency is reached. Use short pulses for chunky salsa or long pulses for a smoother salsa.

Serve immediately or transfer to jars and chill until ready to serve. Will last about 1 week in the refrigerator.
