This recipe has recently become very popular on this blog. As it was featured over on onebitevegan.com some months back.

WHAT DOES PEACH SALSA GO WITH

Not only does it go so well paired with your favorite nachos; it also goes well when paired alongside chicken and pork dishes.

So whenever I’m making this I will make a big enough batch, so that I can use it in a few different ways. 

You will find an awesome recipe below that feature this salsa, which you’re sure to love!

A sweet and spicy salsa that you can’t go wrong with!

HOW TO MAKE PEACH SALSA

  • I like to add all my ingredients to a small food processor, which will chop it all together in a jiffy.
  • Just make sure it’s set to slow chop as your not wanting a puree. 
  • However if you don’t have a food processor, then feel free to use a knife just make sure you are chopping it all up as small as possible.

I also like to double up this recipe as it saves great in the fridge for the very next day. In which I will make either some pork chops or grilled chicken and serve this salsa right alongside.

Both recipes are listed below, I hope you give one of them a try!

Note: You can omit the Jalapeno sauce which is found in bottled Jalapenos if desired.

Thick Boneless Pork Chop Recipe

These Thick Boneless Pork Chop Recipe are pan fried on the stove-top and served with fresh Homemade Peach Jalapeno Salsa. 

My Thick Boneless Pork Chop Recipe may look a bit  fancy, but trust me it really takes no special technique to prepare at all. 

If you like pork with a hint of sweet/spicy flavors then you can’t go wrong with this recipe here. These pork chops go great even without the peach salsa, but if you can get your hands on in season fresh peaches then go for it! 

HOW TO PAN FRY PORK CHOPS? 

The trick to cooking the best pan fried pork chops is to use ample butter, because you are going to be basting the pork chops in the butter while it cooks. 

The second trick is to season the pork chops generously on both sides with salt and pepper prior to cooking. If you follow those two tips alone you are sure to prepare the best pork chops ever. 

These chops can be done on the grill as well, they just won’t be as juicy. Also feel free to use pineapple in replace of peaches if desired.

WHAT TYPE OF PORK CHOP IS GOOD FOR FRYING?

Feel free to use bone in pork chops, pork loin or ribs. All work well for frying!

Go ahead and serve these pork chops with mash potatoes or a salad of your liking. They really go well with either option or just enjoy as is with lots of peach salsa.

I just love the way the rosemary and garlic butter flavors the pork, it melts in your mouth and to be honest I have yet to try something this good in the restaurants.

First you will want to prepare the salsa in advance and store it in the fridge for more than one hour.

This really helps the flavors to set into the peaches and makes for an excellent topping to these pork chops.

To prepare the pork you will want to sear chops in a non stick frying pan with a little butter, rosemary and seasonings.

Each side will take about 8 minutes to cook, while cooking baste with butter in the pan.

Healthy Peach Sweet Tea

There are many ways to prepare traditional southern sweet tea, one has you cooking down those peaches and straining them afterward.

Personally I do not like that method to much because you are also straining out the peach pulp and throwing away a lot of your peaches, that is a crime if you ask me!

Also allot have you adding more than a cup of refined sugar… no way i am not doing that.

Now I am not saying i don’t consume refined sugar ever, i’m just saying that I try not to don’t drink it. Bubba just came back from our local farmer’s market earlier today with a basket of the plumpest peaches that worked perfect for this recipe.  

He says, if you can’t get your hands on fresh peaches then just make sure to boil out any excess water from the frozen variety before adding your honey for the initial steps and it will work just the same. 

So please forget that American sweet tea, which is filled with refined sugar and is not very good for you and give this healthy version a try, I’m calling this recipe my “Healthy Peach Sweet tea”.

It tastes very similar to the American kind, however it’s much better for you because we are blending the peaches whole, and thIs keeping all of the peach.

 

Also we use organic green tea bags and omit the refined sugar by replacing it with raw honey or agave syrup. Did you know that Choosing RAW honey will also help your immune system stay tough during seasonal allergy attacks, as it has a natural antibacterial nature? If that’s not more reason to sip this all year- long I don’t know what is. Well enjoy ya’ll… wait,  why am i talking like an American? Must be the sweet tea doing that…

HOW TO MAKE PEACH SWEET TEA

  1. Place 3 chopped up peaches in a blender and blend till smooth. 
  2. Now let’s make a simple syrup, pour those purred peaches into a medium sauce pan and add your honey, over low to medium heat cook them down together for about 4 mins.
  3. Make 1 gallon of unsweetened Tea, I use Organic Green Tea
  4. To make the tea, boil your water and add it to an unbreakable pitcher.
  5. Add in a pinch of baking soda (this takes away any bitterness)
  6. Steep your tea, by adding 6 tea bags into the hot water for 5-10 mins and be careful not to over steep otherwise your tea will be bitter.
  7. Remove tea bags and discard.
  8. Add in your purred peaches/honey and stir till dissolved.
  9. Once cooled, place in the fridge and allow it to chill.
  10. Serve over ice, and add some peach slices or mint if you’d like.
  11. Enjoy!

Note: Allow your tea to cool before adding to any type of glassware and before placing it in the fridge. You don’t want a shattered pitcher or fridge shelf. Also you can use black tea or green tea for this recipe, both work great. I hope you enjoy!
