I have been wanting to make this for a long time now and everytime that I buy the peaches for it, I eat them. I figure with Summer coming to a brutal halt in Sydney that there was no time like the present. It was so much easier than I thought it would be and it made a litre. I couldn’t find my 200ml bottles which was annoying but I will probably go through the litre bottle in no time!
My next personal BBQ sauce challenge will be raspberry BBQ sauce. I was given a bottle ages ago and absolutely adored it. I think that I will be making a lot more of my sauces after making this one. It was all in a single pot and I didn’t even have to take it out of the pot to blend it. I used a stick mixer to cut out using a food processor or a blender.
I used firm peaches and just peeled them like you would potatoes. It was much easier than blanching them and the result was fantastic.
For the first 10 minutes of cooking time, make sure you have a lid on the pot. It is important to break down the peaches a bit before the sauce thickens too much.
Then give it a good stir and let it form a thick stew like consistency. It will become a lovely deep orange colour and the peaches will be very tender and easy to blend. I do not have an exact timing for how long this keeps but assumably it is quite a while with the vinegar quantity. If anyone can shed some light on the used by issue though, it would be much appreciated!
Follow my lead. . .

What an awesome bbq sauce! I can just imagine the lovely floral sweetness from the peaches.
It has a lot of caramelised floral flavours Leaf
What a unique bbq sauce! It’s still too cold for peaches here, but I’m going to save this recipe for summer. I can’t wait to slather it other some bbq chicken! Thank you for sharing with me!
We are about to loose stone fruit so I thought I had better do it!
This looks delicious. I love the idea of a fruity BBQ sauce.
It’s a bit unusual but it’s my favourite sauce now!
The idea of peach BBQ sauce as never even occurred to me, but now it sounds so good! What a brilliant idea and I’m really impressed you made it yourself too
It’s really yummy
The litre is nearly gone…
That peach sweetness must suit it so well
Cheers

It was just perfect Uru
Oooh, this sauce looks awesome! I’m sure it’s delicious on anything from grilled chciken to pizza!
It does Katie
What a beautiful sauce and your peaches look beautiful; such a pretty colour. And yes, the summer ended very abruptly. I’m hoping for a few more warm days (especially over Easter) before Winter sets in xx
Me too
I headed to the beach this afternoon for a walk in the sun. It was lovely 
This looks wonderful, Cass. But I’m unsure about step 4
Hehe…. chew… with food?
This is a great idea! The peach must give it such a lovely flavour. Much better than those from the stores…
Much much better Mich
We are totally in different seasons right now, aren’t we?! I tried making a peach BBQ a couple of summers ago, and it was a miserable failure. But I still want to make some, so I’m pinning your recipe. It looks really wonderful! But I’ll have to wait another few months to see peaches in the markets again. I’m soooo jealous
Oh thank you
It worked so well that I’ll have to make another bottle before the peaches are all gone!
I may have to give this a whirl since I can’t imagine the taste. A brutal halt to summer sounds unpleasant.
It was… we had a weird Summer. It was either flooding, fires, excessive heat or frosty cold!
This sounds SO good! A great way to use some peaches and what a wonderful sounding sauce.
Exactly! It’s nearly gone though. Very popular in our house
I was just talking to my husband last night about how I am craving good barbecue. I feel like I can taste this sweet, tangy sauce right now! I’d probably slather it on some eggs and bacon for breakfast, if I had it with me!
It’s got a smokey thing goin on. Super yummy!
Love this Cass – fantastic! This is a must for our up-coming summer BBQ’s
I can’t wait!! I will be trying to make this as soon as we get some delicious peaches.
Looking forward to the raspberry bbq sauce too – thank you for this!!
I hope you like it. . . I’m a bit obsessed now!
Wow! I have never hear of peach bbq sauce before. It sounds yummy!
It’s really yummy
a great match with my meatless sausage rolls!
Wow,
This sounds fantastic! Would LOVE to try this!
Thanks Asmita
I am thinking of using the smoker this weekend because the snow is melting. This would be a great sauce to whip up. Thanks!
Ooo do it and let me know how it goes
As a Carolinian, I can def. appreciate this…I would smother my fries in this, even!
Oh yum! I want fries now.
I like this idea! It would be really good as a wing sauce
It wasn’t too sweet right?
Not at all Lilly
It has a perfect smokey flavour that goes well with most things!
What a great idea… maybe just a smidgen of rum as well?
saw this post a while back and have finally read it – love the idea of peach in your bbq sauce – I might just have to look out for some hard peaches before they disappear!
Oh yum! So summery
