This homemade peach hot sauce recipe brings the perfect combination of sweet and heat with lots of sweet peaches and fiery sugar rush chilies, easy to make!

Peach Hot Sauce Recipe

We talk about making homemade hot sauces all the time. There are some amazing hot sauces on the market today. The industry is growing quickly, and that's a great thing for all of us.

I like to keep a number of them on hand at home for recipes or for simply dashing over meals for extra flavor and heat. There is something about a homemade hot sauce, though.

You'll get a nice blast of fresh chili pepper flavor and that bright heat of a spicy pepper. Sure, you can make hot sauces from mild peppers, but I like the "hot".

These sugar rush chili peppers are ideal for a hot sauce. The peach color is inviting, and if you want heat, you got it! It's close to habanero level heat, though doesn't get quite that hot. And, it is nice and sweet, hence the "sugar" in the name. Learn more about the Sugar Rush Chili Pepper here.

I added a bit more sugar to this recipe for extra sweetness. When you first make this sauce, it will be rather chunky. You need to strain it to achieve a thinner consistency. You can strain it several times to get it to the point that you prefer, or heck, don't strain it all and have yourself a chunkier sauce.

This is a simple sauce recipe for sure, but a good way to use your fresh peppers. Once you learn more and more about making hot sauces, you can begin to work in more complexity with additional flavors and ingredients. Soon, you'll be selling your own hot sauce!

Peach Sugar Rush Hot Sauce Ingredients

  • Chili Peppers.
  • Vinegar.
  • Garlic.
  • Sugar.
  • Salt.
  • Lime Juice.

Peach Sugar Rush Hot Sauce - The Recipe Method

  • Firstly, remove stems from the sugar rush chili peppers and discard. Toss the peppers into a food processor.
  • Add all remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
  • Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes.
  • Process again if needed, and strain. Discard the solids.
  • Pour into a bottle and serve as desired!

Frequently Asked Hot Sauce Questions

Here are answers to some of the most common questions I get on other sauces:

How long will this sauce keep?

It should keep a few months easily in the fridge, or even longer. It's all about the acidity. To be technical, target level ph for shelf stable foods is below 4.6 ph, but should probably be lower for home cooks, around 4.0 or so, to account for errors. If you're concerned, add more vinegar to lower the ph. Sauces made with fermented chili peppers will last even longer.

Where'd you get that sauce bottle?

I find them locally sometimes, but I also order through Amazon. Here is a link to some bottles I like (affiliate link, my friends!): Swing Top Glass Bottles, 8.5 Ounce - Set of 4. If you like the smaller bottles that most hot sauce makers use, here's another link: Hot Sauce Bottles, 5 Oz - 24 Pack.

Can I process this hot sauce for longer storage?

Absolutely. Just be sure to use proper canning/jarring safety procedures.

Recipe Tips & Notes

  • When you first make this sauce, it will be rather chunky. You need to strain it to achieve a thinner consistency. You can strain it several times to get it to the point that you prefer, or heck, don't strain it all and have yourself a chunkier sauce.
  • This is a simple sauce recipe for sure, but a good way to use your fresh peppers. Once you learn more and more about making hot sauces, you can begin to work in more complexity with additional flavors and ingredients. Soon, you'll be selling your own hot sauce!
  • Aside from drizzling it over anything you please, here's a post I did about How to Cook with Hot Sauce. As if you need even MORE reasons to eat hot sauce. LOL. I hope you find it helpful!

Storage & Leftovers

Storing your Peach Sugar Rush Hot Sauce in an airtight container in the fridge may allow you to store the leftovers for up to 1-2 weeks. To maximize the storage life, make sure to refrigerate the dish promptly.

    What type of vinegar do you use for this recipe? White or cider? Or does it really matter?

      I use apple cider vinegar for this, Kyla, though white wine vinegar is great, too. Enjoy!

    Do you put a lid on the pan when you simmer the hot sauce. I’m looking forward making this in the future. As always I enjoy making your recipes.

      You can if you're concerned about moisture escaping, though it doesn't really simmer for too long. Enjoy, Bill.

    Hi Mike, I plan to try and water can a couple of your sauce recipes. One the sugar rush peach sauce, Datil Pepper Sauce and then a sauce requiring loads of Habaneros. I have an abundance of these three peppers. My plan is to use jam jars to store the sauce in and then once opened transfer to an easier pour bottle. I'm just wondering how long you would leave them in the water canner? Secondly, do you strain the pulp prior to canning or strain after opening and before using?

    P.S. I have tried several of your recipes and they have ALL been 100% spot on! You are my go to guy for everything peppers! Love your site!

      Thanks, Kyla! 10 minutes is usually enough in a water bath, though up to 20 minutes for higher elevations. If straining, do it before canning. Enjoy!!

    Curious to know how long this will last in the fridge? I have a seemingly endless supply of sugar rush right now and can’t wait to make this today. Thank you!

      Laura, this should last many months in the fridge. Fruit sauces typically don't last as long, but there is a lot of vinegar, which preserves it. Enjoy!!

    Can I sub lemon juice for the lime juice or will that be missing something??

    I harvested 9 pounds 2 ounces last week. They’re almost all peach in color, so I’m making a test batch today. I want to hot water process then so i need to make sure it’s the right ph. I still have another maybe 6 pounds to harvest in a few weeks. Needless to say, everyone’s getting hot sauce for Christmas this year

    I seeded mine as I wanted a heat level most non chili heads could enjoy too. Omg wonderful. I used the juice of a whole lime and used a tablespoon of salt. Used apple cider vinegar. Pureed everything in my blender till smooth then cooked as directed. It was nice and thick and coats the back of a spoon. Not gonna strain but use as is. Wonderful flavor. Thanks so much for showing how to showcase the sugar rush peach pepper. I may try subbing a cup of pineapple juice for 1cup of vinegar next go around.
