    Say hello to summer with my homemade spicy Peach BBQ Sauce.

    Sweet, tangy and little bit smoky, this rich and thick peach bbq sauce is easy to make yourself at home.

    Summer is all about barbecues and grilling outdoors, and this simple recipe uses the flavour of gorgeous fresh peaches to make a deliciously spicy peach barbecue sauce to serve along whatever protein you have going on the grill.

    Sweet and spicy sauces like this are great to serve alongside things like grilled chicken, pork or lamb.

    It also works well as a glaze too for wings or ribs.

    Top tips

    • Look for ripe peaches for this recipe.
    • The sauce may start to spit (particularly towards the end of the cooking time as it thickens) so you may need to cover it with a lid, but you don't want it to be tight fitting. You still need the steam to escape because we are reducing this down, so prop the lid ajar with a spoon or something similar.
    • When it comes to getting the consistency of the sauce that you want, remember that the more you reduce it the thicker it will get. Also it will thicken slightly on cooling.
    • If you don't have an immersion blender there are still some options to give you a smoother sauce.
      • Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then pour the sauce into a standard blender or food processor and give it a whiz up.
      • Use a potato masher to break up any remaining chunks of peach - sauce will still be a bit chunky though.
    • I usually also recommend the option of passing fruit sauces through a sieve if you aren't able to blend them, but the pieces of onion as well as the garlic in this recipe means that wouldn't really work.
    • This sauce recipe includes 2 teaspoons of tabasco - this is the ingredient that adds that little kick of heat - you can always increase (or decrease) the spiciness from there.

    Storage

    This sauce will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a month.
