Sweet and spicy homemade barbecue sauce with peaches and habanero peppers is easy to make from scratch to brush on grilled foods or use as a dipping sauce.

Peach-Habanero Barbecue Sauce

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

My recipe of the day with  #StoneFruits is for a peach habanero barbecue sauce, which is fruit based and does not  use tomato at all.

August is Stone Fruits month, as you can  imagine from all the peaches, plums and cherries you have seen everywhere, along with nectarines, which are just smooth skinned  peaches.

I’ve been wanting to post a peach barbecue sauce for awhile now and what a perfect opportunity!

This sauce uses  fresh peaches as you can see in the photo  below  (along  with  some onion).

It is quite easy to get a quick blanch on the peaches  so the bits of skin won’t be in there (because that just won’t do).

After you  get this one simmered up, it will yield  a pint, which is a nice  amount for a barbecue or cookout, as most bottles of bbq sauce do clock in at around  2 cups.

I’ve used mine on pork shoulder blade steaks, because I do love pork bbq and pork and peach pair well together. You might find it does well with chicken or fish too, not to mention turkey burgers or sausages.

You can see that it has a nice golden color that is not red (no tomato, remember?)  and although a tbsp of hot sauce goes in, and it is a little spicy by itself, the heat mellows when the sauce is on food so it will taste less spicy. Use your own judgement from there if you like more or less heat.

You can always  add hot sauce at the table when in  doubt, because you can  always put it in, but not as easy to take it out.
