Peach is front and center in this tangy, sweet, and spicy barbecue sauce, which gets some extra depth thanks to a shot of bourbon.
- Yield:Makes about 3 cups Active time: 25 minutes Total time:45 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup finely diced sweet onion (about 1/2 large)
- 1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic (about 1 medium clove)
- 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped peeled fresh peaches (about 1 pound of whole peaches)
- 3/4 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon habanero hot sauce, plus more to taste
- Kosher salt, to taste
Directions
-
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Add peaches, ketchup, bourbon, brown sugar, vinegar, honey, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire, and hot sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until peaches have softened and sauce has slightly thickened, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Puree sauce with an immersion blender, or transfer sauce to the jar of a regular blender, and process until smooth. Season with salt and additional hot sauce to taste. Let cool to room temperature, transfer to a jar and store in refrigerator for up to a month.
