The combination of sweet peaches and cherries creates this incredible natural sweetness that you just cant get from tomato based salsas
It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but tastes like something you spent way more time on

02 -

Don't skip that 15 minute rest in the fridge. It gives the flavors time to get friendly with each other and transforms this from fruit salad to salsa.
The salsa will release some liquid as it sits. That's totally normal and actually delicious just spoon it over whatever you're eating.

03 -

Use the sharpest knife you have for the fruit. A dull knife will crush everything and you'll end up with mush instead of distinct pieces.
Taste a cherry and a peach before you start. If they're not sweet enough, the salsa will taste flat regardless of how much lime you add.
