  1. 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?

    1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.)

  4. 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!

  5. 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
