While on a quest of trying to figure out new and delicious ways to use up 25 lbs of fresh Georgia peaches, I knew that I wanted to do something savory with the peaches. Believe me, I made my fair share of cobblers and galettes and turnovers. And while I could eat peach desserts all Summer long, I wanted to change things up and have them for dinner as well.
So, Summer is grilling season… and what better way to use up fresh peaches than by making some Peach BBQ sauce, slathering it on some meat and grilling it?! I have used this Peach BBQ sauce for grilled chicken, but it would also be great with pork or shrimp or even fish. It’s ready in about thirty minutes and makes about 3-4 cups of sauce (will depend on the size of your peaches). You can refrigerate the leftovers for one week or freeze in an air-tight container or bag and use for later.
This sauce is smokey and sweet and the peaches give it such a nice brightness. It’s not just a great way to use up your peaches, it’s a great sauce in general. Give it a try. Once you see how easy it is to make your own condiments and sauces, you’ll start making them more often.

- In a medium sized sauce pan, add olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook about another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Transfer the onions and garlic to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add peaches to the food processor and pulse until the peaches are smooth or still a little chunky, depending on your preference.
- Transfer the peach-onion mixture back to the sauce pan and add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and then lower the heat. Let simmer over medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes to let all of the flavors meld together.
