- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small sweet onion chopped
- 2 serrano peppers chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- 2 large peaches peeled, pitted and chopped
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- ½ cup bourbon
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
- Salt to taste
- Water as desired to thin the sauce
Heat a large pot to medium heat and add butter. Melt and add onion and peppers. Cook about 4-5 minutes to soften.
Add garlic and stir. Cook another minute until you can smell that awesome garlic.
Add peaches, tomato paste, bourbon, brown sugar, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce and paprika. Stir.
Bring the whole thing to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until thickened.
Transfer to a food processor and process to your desired level of thickness, either chunky or nicely pureed. You can also strain it at this point through a sieve for an even finer sauce.
Season with salt to your preference.
If you’d like a thinner sauce, add a bit of water to achieve your desired consistency.
Cool slightly and use it up!
