Tips and Variations
✱ If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the number of chipotle peppers. For extra heat, add an additional pepper or a pinch of cayenne.
✱ Swap out peaches for mangoes or apricots for a different fruity twist.
✱ If you like a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer. For a thinner sauce, add a bit of water or more vinegar during cooking.
✱ Enhance the smoky flavor by adding a teaspoon of liquid smoke.
Special Note
Always use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches are not available, high-quality canned peaches can be a good alternative.
