Just Finished Making An AMAZING Grilled Peach Salsa!

By, Chef Jim

Using all home grown and locally purchased ingredients!  In fact, I didn’t really even have to go out of my way to source the incredible ingredients!  As I was on my way home from a brief overnight trip to Baltimore, I stopped by Hollabaugh’s Orchards in Adams County, PA (www.hollabaughbros.com) and picked up some Peaches, Plums, Onions, Beans and more incredibly fresh and beautiful produce!

Making the most of what’s available locally is a great way to save money and to support local producers & businesses!  Without support from the community, family farms are facing increasing pressures from ‘Corporate Growers’ and mass production…SO…wherever you live, find a local farm or farmer’s market and go support them!  It’s a great way to get more connected to your food and it will inspire some GREAT dishes like my Salsa!

I simply Roasted a Peach, Tomato, four Jalapeno Peppers, two small Green Bell Peppers and a bulb of Garlic.  Then I finely diced a 1/4 of a Red Onion and chopped up two unroasted tomatoes, chopping up all the other ingredients however you prefer and then adding them all together with some Balsamic Vinegar, Good Olive Oil, Honey, Ancho Chile Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste…let it sit for 24 hours and then use as a garnish, side or appetizer…easy peasy!
