Spicy, Sweet Peach Barbecue Sauce

 

Gerry found a recipe for Blackberry Barbecue Sauce and I knew that some ripe peaches would make another great sauce for chicken or pork ribs. You’ll want ripe, sweet peaches. I used several online recipes for inspiration. 

5 large peaches, peeled and quartered


1 large sweet onion, cut into large thick slices

1T roasted garlic (optional)

½ c. white wine or cooking wine

1 habanero pepper, diced

1 t. mustard seeds

Salt and pepper

Cook the onion in a deep saucepan until softened and add the peaches and pepper and salt and pepper

Cook on low heat about ½ hour until softened to use an immersion blender to blend into a fine-to chunky sauce.  I take a long piece of aluminum foil and fold it in thirds and cut a hole in the center to fit the immersion blender. This stops hot droplets of liquid.

Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until it is a reduced, rich sauce (20 min. to 1 hour). Taste for salt and pepper.

¾ c. brown sugar

¼ c. honey

1 T. Worcestershire Sauce

2 t. ground coriander

2 t. smoked paprika

½ c. Peach balsamic vinegar

½ c. Balsamic vinegar (add a few T. Fig or Pear-induced balsamic)

¼ c. Bourbon

Few dashes Liquid Smoke
