Peach BBQ sauce is a sweet and tangy sauce made primarily with ripe peaches, along with a combination of other ingredients like vinegar, sugar, spices, and sometimes even a hint of smokiness. Here’s a basic recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients: diced peaches, ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Stir well to combine.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the sauce has thickened.
- Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully blend the sauce until smooth. Alternatively, you can leave it chunky if you prefer.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Once the sauce has cooled completely, transfer it to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.
- Your peach BBQ sauce is now ready to use! It pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken, pork, or even as a dipping sauce for appetizers.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients and quantities to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade peach BBQ sauce!
