Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Immersion blender (or regular blender)
- Wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches peeled and chopped
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chopped
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from the chipotle peppers
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping the peaches. Chop the chipotle peppers and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic and ginger. Gather all other ingredients to ensure you have everything ready.
- In a large saucepan, combine the peaches, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, minced ginger, salt, and smoked paprika.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the sauce until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can transfer the sauce to a regular blender in batches and blend until smooth.
Notes
Always use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor. If fresh peaches are not available, high-quality canned peaches can be a good alternative.
