Equipment
- Sauce pan heavy bottom
- cutting board
- chef's knife
- measuring cups and spoons
- Spoon, spatula for mixing
- immersion blender or food processor
- wood pellet smoker stove top
Ingredients
- 4-5 fresh peaches
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup tomato paste
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 adobo chipotle pepper and 1 tbsp of the sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1.5 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Start by gathering all the ingredients.
- Wash the peaches, remove the pits and chop them into small pieces.
- Measure out the rest of the ingredients according to the recipe.
- Preheat your smoker to a low temperature, around 225-250°F (107-121°C). Use a mild wood such as apple, cherry, or hickory for a subtle smoky flavor that won't overpower the sauce.
- Heat a skillet or saucepan directly on the smoker's grate or on a stovetop if your smoker doesn't have this option.
- Add the olive oil and chopped peaches to the skillet and sauté until slightly softened and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the sautéed peaches to a smoker-safe pan or dish, then add all the remaining ingredients listed in the recipe.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Let the sauce simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft and the flavors have melded together.
- Once the sauce has finished simmering, remove it from the heat.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a regular blender (in batches if necessary) and blend until smooth.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or salt and pepper to taste.
- Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers.
Notes
Choose ripe and fragrant peaches for the best flavor. They should give slightly when gently squeezed and have a sweet aroma.
Adjust spice level - start with one chipotle pepper and gradually add more for extra heat. You can also adjust the amount of adobo sauce accordingly.
Simmer for flavor - allow the sauce to simmer gently over low heat to develop complex flavors. This allows the ingredients to meld together and intensifies the taste of the sauce.
Blend - for a silky smooth texture, use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the sauce. This step ensures a uniform texture and helps incorporate all the ingredients evenly.
