Description

A delicious take on the theme, this Peach BBQ Sauce with Single Malt comes with layers of fruity, sweet, tangy and malty flavours, created by the use of peaches in place of the usual cups of ketchup.
There is still a bit in there, to create the familiar profile of BBQ sauce, but the use of sweet fruit allows us to reduce the sugar quite a bit, while lending their summery taste.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp grapeseed or olive oil
  • 1/4 cup single malt whiskey
  • 1 lb peaches (pitted and chopped roughly)
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (use more if you like it very sweet)
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1/2 tsp ancho chili powder

Instructions

  1. This is a quick one. Sweat the chopped onion in the olive or grapeseed oil on medium heat until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the single malt and let it boil down a little, so the alcohol evaporates, and you are left with the concentrated flavour.
  3. Add the chopped peaches and 1 cup of water. Let them boil for about 10min until soft.
  4. At this point you’ll need a blender or food processor. Add your peach-onion mix. Close the lid, but add a towel over the top. Some blenders have the bad habit of popping the lid off when filled with hot ingredients and you don’t want to be burned but peach splatters.
  5. Blend at high speed until smooth. Pour through a sieve back into your pot, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon, to push all the goodness through and mainly keep the peach skins back in the sieve. Discard the sieve contents.
  6. Add the remaining ingredients to your pot and switch the heat back on. Let it bubble away for about 5-10 minutes, until you have a sauce that coats the back of your spoon.
  7. Have a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  8. Fill into jars that you have washed thoroughly with hot water. This Peach BBQ Sauce with Single Malt keeps in the fridge for about 2-3 weeks.
