Preparation Steps
1
Halve the jalapeño peppers, remove the seeds (if you prefer less heat), and finely chop. Peel and dice the strawberries and peach into small pieces.
2
Peel and finely chop the red onion and garlic.
3
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add the garlic and jalapeño, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
5
Add the diced strawberries and peach, and stir well. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the fruit softens.
6
Pour in the balsamic vinegar and honey, then season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
7
For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to purée. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, simply stir well to combine.
8
Allow to cool, then transfer to a sterilized jar. It will keep in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
9
Serve warm or cold with meats, cheeses, or grilled vegetables.
