Homemade Grilling Sauce
It's no secret Southerners love sweet juicy peaches. During the warm summer months when they come in season, my mind whirls with ways to use them from savory dishes to desserts. I really love making my own signature grilling and barbecue sauces. One other you may enjoy here in the MSSK recipe index is my homemade Dr Pepper Barbecue Sauce, which is particularly good on beef. I actually have many other sauces, glazes and dipping creations that I've never posted here on my website and I'm particularly proud of this one. Stay tuned, more sauces to come.
Chipotle Peach Barbecue Grillin Sauce
For the best results when making sauces from scratch, it's important to allow the flavors and ingredients to fully bloom. So, be patent and allow the sauce to reduce and thicken to bring the combination of favors to the forefront. While the ingredient list may look long, these are items you likely already have stocked in your pantry. If not, they should be easy to find. In this delectable sauce, fresh peach puree and peach nectar along with a rich tomato base, and kicking it up with smoky chipotle peppers...oh my, so scrumptious! It's great with chicken or pork, too. For a dessert treat, you may also like to try this Raspberry Peach Sauce from A Dash of Sanity.

It's soooo good. The only substitute I made was I used maple syrup instead of molasses and I didn't have canned tomatoes so just pureed my own. For freezing, ok to just throw in the mason jar? How long would it be good for? And any more ideas how to use it?
Melissa
I would rather you freeze this in a freezer safe container either glass or a BPA free container. It will last for up to 3 months, possibly longer. We use it on burgers, as a glaze for grilling beef, chicken, pork and seafood, the sky is the limit.
Lisa
Hello, I made this, it's wonderful, but a huge jar...can it be froze??
Melissa
Hi Lisa, sure no problem at all. I'm delighted you loved it!
Lori
Love, love, love this sauce. This past weekend my husband and I tripled the recipe and canned it. Now we have it ready whenever we want! Last year we smoked turkeys to serve at my sons rehearsal dinner. This was one of two sauces we served and was clearly the favorite by the attendees! I highly recommend this recipe!
Melissa
Thank you so much!
Melissa
Hi Paula, I love your idea about adding mango. It would be a fantastic option in this sauce in place of the peach.
Paula Morgan
This sounds fantastic!! I am also all about creating my own sauces and marinades. I was just wondering if you had ever tried this with Mango? Puree the Mango and mix it in, (without the Peaches). It would give it just a bit more of an exotic Tropical flavor. (Just an idea.)
Rhonda Lambert
can't wait to try this tomorrow although I swear everything has been against me. First couldn't get the peach nectar...only thing they carried in the latin area was mango. Then had to go get molasses opened it and it wasn't sealed. Grrr. Btw anyone cant find something at the store go to Amazon. I don't think there is anything they DON'T have. Thanks for posting the recipes!
Melissa
Hi Rhonda! Some days just go that way don't they? I'm so delighted you're making this sauce, I absolutely love it. The texture, after everything has cooked, reduced and been pureed together is dreamy. You know, mango wouldn't have been a bad substitution, honestly. Yes, long live Amazon, enjoy! ~ Melissa
