Pro tip: the guy at the produce stand in Fresno told me to buy the bruised peaches at half price for salsa, and I've made 14 jars since | Budget Friendly Meals - Hub Chatter
My buddy got the same tip from a guy at a stand near Visalia and now his whole garage smells like peppers and vinegar. He gives jars out at Christmas and people actually fight over them. Bruised fruit is where it's at for cooking, no reason to pay full price for stuff getting mashed up anyway.
