I like to add a half pint of pineapple salsa to my rice when I make it. It’s perfect to serve with kebobs

Think looks really good. I might be trying this soon.

I want to make this now! Carter, you will keep me busy with all the good stuff you can! Lol, I need a month off from work. HAHA!

[susansutton]

Looks delicious. Could you also make it into a smoother salsa?

Greetings from Georgia, about an hour NW of ATL!!! Both pineapple and mango salsa are on my canning list this summer, but I am not daunted enough by peeling peaches to skip making a peach salsa too! I'm so glad you said something about the spicyness mellowing out because that has deterred me in the past. With a prolific peach tree, I am up for all things peachy!!! I am struggling not to hoard the peach BBQ sauce I canned last summer. I love it so much and yet don't use it as often as I should. I'm hoping this year's peach harvest gives me enough that I it makes them feel less precious. Last year was the first year with enough to can after all the fresh eating and this year the tree is loaded with more fruit than last year's had been... now if I can just keep critters from getting to them before I do!!! I've currently got a countertop laden with zucchini from the garden and tonight's project is Mock Pineapple. Yum!

Looks great. I’ll try it.
The only thing that drove me nuts is How long does it really take to scrap the ingredients off the wooden platter into the pot to cook it? I wanted take it a dump it for you. Nothing personal just one of those things.
Thank you for sharing.

I love all your videos. This old girl has learned a few things I didn't know before. You have gained a new fan here in So. Illinois. Can't wait to try this recipe and several of your others. Keep doing what you are doing.

Both the mango and pineapple are both wonderful 😋 Ty 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[stampinwithmoo]

Hi Carter loving your videos. Could I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

[marciahohn]

I really enjoy smaller batch canning like this. Then I can can more frequently😊

[truegapeach]

Thank you for kindly sharing your expertise, sweet friend!
I know I’ll do both 😂 You’re a joy to visit and so very
appreciated.

Bless you, Carter 🫶😘

Pineapple salsa looks yummy but the Mango may be hard to beat. Thanks for all the hard work.
We have and afternoon storm brewing. It's 4pm and 93 degrees. Not a good combination in Texas. Hail potential. We don't need that. Your hair is beautiful today. Thanks for the video.

[connierodenburg]

Thanks Carter! Learning so much. Appreciate your sharing.

[debbiemoore]

Every time I watch one of your videos. My mouth just waters up. Where I want to run to the store and buy the ingredients to make it myself it looks so good. Can't wait for your next video
