Tips & Warnings

In place of peaches, substitute one fresh mango sliced into small bits
In place of peaches, substitute pineapple (in its own juice) and omit cinnamon.
If you don't have cinnamon, experiment with other canned peaches. Some already contain cinnamon and other spices.
Add 1/4 cup sliced onions for a more robust salsa
If you have trouble keeping fresh herbs on hand, pick up a tube of cilantro in oil (found in the produce section). It has strong flavor and lasts a long time in your 'fridge.
For a smokier flavor, substitute chipotle pepper powder for chili powder
Adjust onion measurements depending on intensity of onion. You want the sweetness of the peaches to come through and not be overshadowed by a strong onion.
