Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 cup Water (as needed)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced peaches and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches begin to soften.

Step 2

Add the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and kosher salt to the saucepan.

Step 3

Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches have fully broken down and the sauce has thickened.

Step 5

If you prefer a smooth sauce, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture directly in the saucepan until it reaches your desired consistency. Alternatively, let the sauce cool slightly and blend it in a standard blender.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, if needed. Add a little more honey for sweetness or vinegar for tanginess, depending on your preferences.

Step 7

Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or jar.

Step 8

Store the peach barbecue sauce in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Step 9

Serve as a topping, marinade, or dipping sauce for your favorite dishes.
