Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 ripe peaches, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the peaches thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the peaches in half, remove the pit, and dice the fruit into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/4 inch in size.
- Peel the red onion and slice it in half. Finely chop one half of the onion into small, delicate pieces to ensure even distribution in the relish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches and finely chopped red onion.
- Pour the apple cider vinegar over the peach and onion mixture, ensuring all ingredients are well coated.
- Sprinkle the sugar over the mixture and gently stir to help dissolve the sugar and blend the flavors.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Cover the bowl and let the relish sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days, stirring occasionally to maintain flavor consistency.
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best texture and flavor balance. Overripe peaches will turn mushy in the relish.
- For a more intense flavor, let the relish sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving, allowing the ingredients to marinate and develop deeper taste profiles.
- Experiment with different vinegars like white wine vinegar or balsamic for subtle flavor variations.
- If you prefer less sharp onion flavor, soak the chopped red onion in cold water for 5 minutes before mixing to mellow its intensity.
- This relish is incredibly versatile – try it as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or even as a unique bruschetta spread.
- For a spicy kick, add a small amount of finely chopped jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
