PEACH AND ONION SALSA 

1 med onion; cut in small dice
2 1/4 tsp salt
4 med or 3 large peaches
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 
1 jalapeno chile; seeds removed, finely chopped 
1/2 cup basil leaves; loosely packed

Combine onion with 2 teaspoons salt in non-reactive bowl. Allow to
stand at least 1 hour but not more than 1 1/2 hours. Onion will
wilt slightly, throw off some juice and become much less pungent.
Drain juice from onion, rinse with cold water and drain again. Peel
peaches and chop medium-fine with knife. Do not use food processor.
Combine peaches in non-reactive bowl with onion, vinegar, jalapeno
and remaining salt. Finely mince basil and stir in.  Serve at once.

Makes 2 cups, 6 to 8 servings.
