Peach BBQ Sauce

Categories Appetizer/Snacks, Dairy free, Easy Recipes, Sauces

Peach BBQ Sauce is a great way to celebrate peach season. It’s savory, sweet and perfectly spiced and works with any meats, as a dipping sauce or however you like to use barbecue sauce.

I first started making fruity bbq sauces about 20 years ago as a teenager and discovered how delicious they are when cooked down and the natural sugars are allowed to caramelize into a sauce.

This sauce can be used within 1-3 months in the refidgerator or it can be frozen or bottled.

To bottle this sauce, add sauce to a clean dry jar, clean the rim of the jar. Add a new clean lid and place the ring on just until finger tight, not too tight. Process in a hot water canner for 20 minutes per pint jar and 35-40 for a quart jar. Place on a counter top to cool and allow 24 hours before checking for a seal on the jar. If it didn’t seal, reprocess or refrigerate or freeze.

What you need to make this peach BBQ Sauce:

Makes ~7 pints

  • 15 cups peaches – skins and pits removed
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoons black pepper
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Blend peaches in a blender then add to a large pot.
  2. Add molasses, sugar, salt, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce to the pot.
  3. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally or until mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon. If sauce begins popping out of the pot, place a lid over pot and remove from heat, it is thick enough.
  4. Can, freeze or use BBQ sauce immediately.
