Cook's notes

  • For the best flavor, let the salsa marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the juices to meld.
  • Dice your apricots and nectarines into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure a perfect balance of fruit in every scoop.
  • If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeño before chopping.

Easy swaps

  • Swap nectarines for peaches or plums if they are better in season.
  • Use fresh mint or basil instead of cilantro for a different aromatic profile.
  • Add red onion instead of white for a slightly milder flavor and a pop of purple color.
