Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?

Oh honey, I won't lie—fresh is best here! But in a pinch, well-drained canned peaches can work. Just pat them super dry with paper towels first so your salsa doesn't get watery. The texture won't be quite the same, but the flavor will still be delicious.

How can I make it less spicy?

Easy fix! First, remove ALL the seeds and white ribs from your jalapeño—that's where most of the heat lives. Still nervous? Start with just half the pepper, taste, then add more if you want. You can also swap in a mild poblano pepper instead.

Will it still taste good if I hate cilantro?

Totally! I know cilantro can be polarizing. Try flat-leaf parsley for a similar fresh herbiness, or even some thinly sliced basil for a sweet twist. My aunt swears by mint in hers—sounds weird but it's actually amazing!

Can I make this ahead for a party?

Absolutely! In fact, letting it sit for an hour or two in the fridge helps the flavors marry beautifully. Just give it a gentle stir before serving. That said, I wouldn't make it more than 4 hours ahead—the peaches start losing their perfect texture after that.

What if my peaches aren't super ripe?

No worries! A tiny drizzle of honey (like 1/2 teaspoon) can help sweeten things up. Or let your diced peaches sit with the lime juice and salt for 10 minutes before adding the other ingredients—the acid helps bring out their natural sweetness.
