A sweet, smoky, and tangy BBQ sauce made with fresh peaches and smoky spices, perfect for tender ribs and backyard gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 6 oz (170 g) tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup (70 g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop fresh peaches into small pieces, about 2 cups. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid. This should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped peaches and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
  3. Stir in 6 oz (170 g) tomato paste, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon chipotle powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices gently.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, 1/3 cup (70 g) brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and blend the sauce using an immersion blender or transfer carefully to a blender. Puree until smooth and silky. Add a splash more water if a thinner sauce is desired.
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Let it cool slightly before using.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Toast spices gently to unlock aroma. Sauce thickens as it cools; thin with warm water if needed. Sauce tastes better after resting overnight. For vegan version, substitute Worcestershire sauce with coconut aminos or soy sauce alternative. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 5 days. Can freeze up to 3 months.
