Peach Habanero BBQ Sauce
Peach Habanero BBQ Sauce is a vibrant and flavorful condiment that marries the sweet, juicy essence of peaches with the fiery kick of habanero peppers.

Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Blender (optional, for smoothing the sauce)
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches peeled and diced
- 2 habanero peppers seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Start by preparing your fruits and vegetables: peel and dice the peaches, finely chop the habanero peppers and onion, and mince the garlic.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté until they become translucent and aromatic, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the habanero peppers, smoked paprika, ground mustard, and ground coriander. Cook for another 2 minutes before adding the diced peaches. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peaches start to soften.
- Pour in the tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 20 minutes, or until it thickens.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce directly in the pan or transfer it to a blender, then return it to the pan to heat through.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust any seasonings if necessary to suit your preferences.
Notes
This BBQ sauce is a fantastic way to spice up your meals. Remember, you can always adjust the level of heat to suit your taste.
