Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches, peeled and chopped (about 3 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. 1Combine the peaches, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. 2Stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until everything is evenly mixed.
  3. 3Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are completely soft and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. 4Remove the pan from heat and let the sauce cool for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a blender.
  5. 5Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30 seconds. Return the sauce to the pan and simmer over low heat for an additional 5 minutes to reach your desired consistency.
  6. 6Taste and adjust seasoning with additional brown sugar for sweetness or vinegar for tang. Remove from heat and let cool before storing.
  7. 7Transfer to an airtight jar or container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

💡 If using frozen peaches, thaw them first and drain off excess liquid so the sauce doesn't turn out too thin.
