Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 cup Vidalia onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 large peaches one cup, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup peach preserves
  • 3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. butter cut into small cubes

Instructions

  • Heat canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add the peaches and cook for 3-5 minutes, until soft.
  • Add the ketchup, brown sugar, peach preserves, apple cider vinegar and ginger.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the mixture in small batches to a blender and puree until smooth. I like to leave a few peach chunks in my sauce (see photo). Return mixture to saucepan.
  • Add pepper, salt and honey. Stir in the butter until melted. Cool to room temperature before serving.
  • You can make the sauce a few days in advance and store in a glass jar in the refrigerator.
