Get the Recipe: Peach BBQ Sauce
A quick, homemade fresh peach BBQ sauce perfect for use on grilled chicken or pork. A great way to use up those last few peaches!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and cut into chunks (or thawed from peach chunks)
- 3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust for heat-tolerance
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon table salt
- Pinch allspice, optional
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, or ginger paste
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons honey, or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves, or 1 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon *see Note 1 below
Instructions
- Add all of the sauce ingredients to a medium saucepan. Place on the stovetop over medium heat and heat until the mixture bubbles. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a potato masher or fork to break up the peach chunks a bit, then continue simmering the sauce for another 10 minutes or so.
- Remove the sauce to a 2-cup measuring cup and use an immersion blender to smooth the sauce (or transfer to a small food processor to blend).
- Brush the sauce onto chicken or pork on the BBQ or a hot grill pan in the oven. If using the oven, turn the broiler on for a few minutes at the end of cooking to brown up the sauce a bit. I like to brush a bit more sauce on top of the meat before serving and/or pass additional sauce at the table.
Notes
Note 1: If you don't have tarragon (or don't enjoy the flavour), you can substitute dried or fresh thyme using half the quantity specified for the tarragon. A bit of fresh or dried basil would also work in this sauce.
Makes approximately 1 1/4 cups of sauce.
Store leftover peach BBQ sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
