Peaches, with their sweet, juicy flesh, bring the last taste of summer, while figs, rich and slightly earthy, herald the beginning of autumn’s bounty. This seasonal transition offers a delicious pairing, and what better way to enjoy it than by creating a refreshing Peach and Fig Salsa? The vibrant mix of sweet and savory flavors makes this salsa a perfect accompaniment to any dish, capturing the best of both seasons in each bite.
